In this work the charm and bottom quark masses are determined from QCD moment sum rules for the charmonium and upsilon systems. To illustrate the special character of these sum rules when applied to Coulomb systems we first set up and study…
We compute the running of the mass of a neutral boson and of its self-coupling in a simple model describing the self-interaction of three scalars, one of them neutral and the other two electrically charged, subject to the effects of a…
The QCD corrections to the moments of the invariant mass distribution in the semileptonic $\tau$ decays are considered. The effect of the renormalization scheme dependence on the fitted values of alpha_s(m^2_tau) and the condensates is…
We determine from first principles the quark mass anomalous dimension in Nf=3 QCD between the electroweak and hadronic scales. This allows for a fully non-perturbative connection of the perturbative and non-perturbative regimes of the…
The perturbative QCD static potential and ultrasoft contributions, which together give the static energy, have been calculated to three- and four-loop order respectively, by several authors. Using the renormalization group, and Pad\'e…
We present an analytic computation of the two-loop QCD corrections to $u\bar{d}\to W^+b\bar{b}$ for an on-shell $W$-boson using the leading colour and massless bottom quark approximations. We perform an integration-by-parts reduction of the…
We derive the QCD corrections to the electroweak gauge bosons vacuum polarization functions at high and zero--momentum transfer in the case of arbitrary internal quark masses. We then discuss in this general case (i) the connection between…
We discuss the gauge dependence of physical parameter's definitions under the on-shell and pole mass renormalization prescriptions. By two-loop-level calculations we prove for the first time that the on-shell mass renormalization…
We present a subtraction scheme for eliminating the ultraviolet, soft, and collinear divergences in the numerical calculation of an arbitrary one-loop QCD amplitude with an arbitrary number of external legs. The subtractions consist of…
The comparison between parameterisations of the perturbation results for the decay width of the Standard Model Higgs boson to \bar{b}b-quarks pairs, based on application of \bar{MS}-scheme running quark mass and pole b-quark mass, are…
$QCD$ renormalization for the top-quark mass is calculated in a mass geometrical mean hierarchy, $m_d m_b = m_s^2$ and $m_u m_t = m_c^2$. The physical mass, $m_t(m_t) = 160 {\pm} 50 GeV$ is obtained, which agrees very well with electroweak…
We perform the first computation of phase-transition parameters to cubic order in $\lambda\sim m^2/T^2$, where $m$ is the scalar mass and $T$ is the temperature, in a simple model resembling the Higgs sector of the SMEFT. We use dimensional…
We study the extraction of Delta-resonance parameters from lattice data for small quark masses, corresponding to the case of an unstable Delta. To this end, we calculate the spectrum of the correlator of two Delta-fields in a finite…
We compute the two-loop massless QCD corrections to the amplitude of Higgs boson decay to bottom quark pair and a gluon ($H \rightarrow b + \bar{b} + g$) in the higher powers of the dimensional regularization parameter $\epsilon$. The…
The non-perturbative nature of QCD at hadronic scales implied the development of phenomenological approaches such as quark models or, more recently, computer-based calculations using Lattice QCD. However, the unique properties of heavy…
We show that the application of twisted mass QCD (tmQCD) with four (Wilson) quark flavours to the computation of lattice weak matrix elements relevant to $\Delta I=1/2$ transitions has important advantages: the renormalisation of $K \to…
We compute the ratio $\Lambda_L/\Lambda_{\bar{MS}}$ between the scale parameter $\Lambda_L$, associated with a lattice formulation of QCD using the overlap-Dirac operator, and $\Lambda_{\bar{MS}}$ of the $\bar{\rm MS}$ renormalization…
We present the current status of a revised strategy to compute the running of renormalized quark masses in QCD with three flavours of massless O(a) improved Wilson quarks. The strategy employed uses the standard finite-size scaling method…
We describe the structural relations between nested harmonic sums emerging in the description of physical single scale quantities up to the 3--loop level in renormalizable gauge field theories. These are weight {\sf w=6} harmonic sums. We…
Establishing an explicit connection between the long distance physics of confinement and the dynamical interactions of quarks and gluons at short distances has been a long-sought goal of quantum chromodynamics. Using holographic QCD, we…
