We review in brief the threshold expansion, a method to perform the expansion of Feynman integrals near the heavy quark-antiquark threshold, and its relation to the construction of two effective theories, non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) and…
Homogeneous power counting in Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD) implies the simultaneous existence of both soft and ultrasoft gluons. In the velocity renormalization group (vNRQCD) formalism we show that operators involving soft fields…
In a typical exclusive quarkonium production process, when the center-of-mass energy, $\sqrt{s}$, is much greater than the heavy quark mass $m$, large kinematic logarithms of $s/m^2$ will unavoidably arise at each order of perturbative…

In T.Zhang, L.Xiao and R.Koniuk, Can. J. Phys. {\bf 70}, 670 (1992), a new method was developed to calculate energy levels in QED nonrelativistic bound states, up to order m \alpha^5. Whether or not this method could be used beyond this…
Attempts to apply effective field theory (EFT) methods to nonrelativistic nucleon-nucleon (NN) scattering have raised questions about the nature and limitations of an EFT expansion when used nonperturbatively. We discuss the characteristics…

The construction of heavy quark effective field theory (HqEFT) is extended to arbitrary order in both expansion parameters $\alpha_s$ and $1/m_q$. Matching conditions are discussed for the general case, and it is verified that this approach…
Nonrelativistic bound states are studied using an effective field theory. Large logarithms in the effective theory can be summed using the velocity renormalization group. For QED, one can determine the structure of the leading and…
