The logarithmic contribution to the QCD static energy at NNNNLO

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-11-04 v2 High Energy Physics - Lattice

Abstract

Using pNRQCD and known results for the field strength correlator, we calculate the ultrasoft contribution to the QCD static energy of a quark-antiquark pair at short distances at NNNNLO in alpha_s. At the same order, this provides the logarithmic terms of the singlet static potential in pNRQCD and the log alpha_s terms of the static energy.
