We consider $1/Q$ corrections to hard processes in QCD where Q is a large mass scale, concentrating on shape variables in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation. While the evidence for such corrections can be and has been established by means of the…

Lattice results and Dual QCD results for all heavy quark potentials through order (quark mass)^${-2}$ are exhibited and compared. The agreement on the whole is quite good, confirming the validity of Dual QCD. NOTE: (The only important…
I discuss a scheme to match perturbative and non-perturbative physics with power accuracy in the heavy-quark effective theory. I elaborate on two important aspects of the scheme: 1) a multi-loop subtraction of soft contributions from the…

The spectrum of the Upsilon system is investigated using the Nonrelativistic Lattice QCD approach to heavy quarks and ignoring light quark vacuum polarization. We find good agreement with experiment for the Upsilon(1S), Upsilon(2S),…
The energy range and quality of strong-interaction data from recent years demand the study of higher orders in perturbative QCD, and of nonperturbative effects. I discuss a selection of recent progress in the theory of QCD at high energy,…

We show that the renormalization factor relating the renormalization group invariant quark masses to the bare quark masses computed in lattice QCD can be determined non-perturbatively. The calculation is based on an extension of a…

We present a calculation of the heavy quark's self energy in moving NRQCD to one-loop in perturbation theory. Results for the energy shift and external momentum renormalisation are discussed and compared with non-perturbative results. We…
Lepage and Mackenzie have shown that tadpole renormalization and systematic improvement of lattice perturbation theory can lead to much improved numerical results in lattice gauge theory. It is shown that lattice perturbation theory using…
We discuss the necessity of non-perturbative renormalization in QCD and HQET and explain the general strategy for solving this problem. A few selected topics are discussed in some detail, namely the importance of off-shell improvement in…
Improvement of the Hamiltonian in lattice gauge theory is considered. We give explicit expressions for classical improvement and discuss also quantum corrections.
Precision tests of QCD perturbation theory are not readily available from experimental data. The main reasons are systematic uncertainties due to the confinement of quarks and gluons, as well as kinematical constraints which limit the…
The QCD one-loop renormalization is restudied in a mass-dependent subtraction scheme in which the quark mass is not set to vanish and the renormalization point is chosen to be an arbitrary timelike momentum. The correctness of the…
