Abstract

Using Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory (NSPT), we calculate the static self-energy of SU(3) gauge theory up to order \alpha^{20}. Simulations on a large set of different lattice volumes allow for a careful treatment of finite size effects. The resulting infinite volume perturbative series of the static self-energy is in remarkable agreement with the predicted asymptotic behaviour of high order expansions, namely with a factorial growth of perturbative coefficients known as renormalon.
