We argue that the difference between the structure functions corresponding to deep inelastic scattering with and without heavy quarks in the current fragmentation region scales at high $Q^2$ and fixed (low) $x_{Bj}$. The lower bound on…

The perturbatively calculable short distance QCD potential is known to two loops including the effect of massive quarks. Recently, a simple approximate solution in momentum space was utilized to obtain the potential in coordinate space. The…
We study the effective theory of decoupling of a charm quark at low energies. We do this by simulating a model, QCD with two mass-degenerate charm quarks. At leading order the effective theory is a pure gauge theory. By computing ratios of…

Virtual quark effects in lattice QCD are studied in an approach where the infrared modes are included in a precise and gauge-invariant manner. At fixed physical volume the required number of modes does not increase in the continuum limit,…
