Potential non-relativistic QCD provides a convenient framework to study the three heavy-quark system. We have studied its symmetries under exchange of the heavy quarks and determined the leading ultrasoft contributions to the singlet static…

We analyse the top-quark decay at the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD by using the Principle of Maximum Conformality (PMC) which provides a systematic way to eliminate renormalization scheme and scale ambiguities in perturbative…
We apply the Euler transformation to accelerate the convergence of the QCD perturbative series with the aim to determine the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ in terms of the total $\tau$-decay rate $r_\tau$. The variation of the result with the…
We define a family of Schroedinger Functional renormalization schemes for the four-quark multiplicatively renormalizable operators of the $\Delta F = 1$ and $\Delta F = 2$ effective weak Hamiltonians. Using the lattice regularization with…
Removal of the quenched approximation in the mechanism which produced an analytic estimate of quark-binding potentials, along with a reasonable conjecture of the color structure of the nucleon formed by such a binding potential, is shown to…
