We renormalize Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) when gauge fixed in the nonlinear Curci-Ferrari gauge to four loops in the modified minimal subtraction (MSbar) scheme. We reproduce the four loop QCD MSbar beta-function from the Slavnov-Taylor…

The four-dimensional helicity regularization scheme is often used in one-loop QCD computations. It was recently argued in Ref. [1] that this scheme is inconsistent beyond the one-loop order in perturbation theory. In this paper, we clarify…
