Perturbative series of some quantities in quantum field theories, such as the pole mass of a quark, suffer from a kind of divergence called renormalon divergence. In this paper, the leading renormalon in the pole mass is investigated, and a…
In this paper we investigate the effect of the resummation of threshold logs on the rate for B -> X_s gamma. We calculate the differential rate dGamma/dE_gamma including the infinite set of terms of the form alpha_s^n log^{n+1}(1-x) and…
In this talk I consider QCD sum rules for the ground state heavy baryons to leading order in $1/m_Q$ and at next-to-leading order in $\alpha_S$ within the context of Heavy Quark Symmetry. The analysis is done at a fixed scale $\mu=1 GeV$.…
The QCD up- and down-quark masses are determined from an optimized QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) involving the correlator of axial-vector current divergences. In the QCD sector this correlator is known to five loop order in perturbative…
In the paper, we analyze the properties of Gross-Llewellyn Smith (GLS) sum rule by using the $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^4)$-order QCD corrections with the help of principle of maximum conformality (PMC). By using the PMC single-scale approach,…
A one-loop renormalization group analysis of the order v^2 relativistic corrections to the static QCD potential is presented. The velocity renormalization group is used to simultaneously sum ln(m/mv) and ln(m/mv^2) terms. The results are…
The physical pole and running masses of squarks and gluinos have recently been related at two-loop order in a mass-independent renormalization scheme. I propose a general method for improvement of such formulas, and argue that better…
We calculate finite mass corrections to leptonic decay constants in HQET using QCD sum rules. The results are given to two--loop accuracy including renormalization group analysis. The contribution of unknown two--loop anomalous dimension…
We study effective energies of heavy-light meson correlation functions in lattice QCD and a small volume of (0.2 fm)^4 to non-perturbatively calculate their dependence on the heavy quark mass in the continuum limit. Our quenched results…

The renormalization group (RG) is known to provide information about radiative corrections beyond the order in perturbation theory to which one has calculated explicitly. We first demonstrate the effect of the renormalization scheme used on…

The leading and next-to-leading order QCD predictions for Higgs boson pair production at hadron colliders suffer from a significant mass renormalisation scheme uncertainty related to the choice of the top-quark mass. The functional…
We compute the effect of soft-gluon resummation, at the next-to-leading-logarithmic level, in the hadroproduction cross-section for heavy flavours. Applications to top, bottom and charm total cross-sections are discussed. We find in general…
The conventional definition of the running coupling $\alpha_{\bar{MS}}(\mu)$ in quantum chromodynamics is based on a solution to the renormalization group equations which treats quarks as either completely massless at a renormalization…
I present a brief review of the generalized Brodsky-Lepage-McKenzie (BLM) approaches to fix the scale-dependence of the renormalization group (RG) invariant quantities in QCD. At first, these approaches are based on the expansions of the…
