The gauge technique for heavy quarks

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

It is possible to determine a propapagator for heavy quarks to order 1/m in any covariant gauge, which applies universally to all quarks, by using the gauge technique. The leading behaviour is given by a _0F_2 function and the result is reliable in the infrared limit, accounting for soft-gluon corrections to the quark in internal loops.
