Where do perturbative and non-perturbative QCD meet?

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2015-06-25 v1

Abstract

We computed the static potential and Wilson loops to O(α2)O(\alpha^2) in perturbation theory for different lattice quark and gluon actions. In general, we find short distance lattice data to be well described by ``boosted perturbation theory''. For Wilson-type fermions at present-day quark masses and lattice spacings agreement within 10% between measured ``β\beta-shifts'' and those predicted by perturbation theory is found. We comment on prospects for a determination of the real world QCD running coupling.
