We include the full second-order corrections to the static QCD potential in the analysis of the ttbar threshold cross section. Then we examine the difference between the results obtained in the momentum-space approach and in the…
The leading non-perturbative contribution to the static QCD potential at r << 1/Lambda_QCD is known to be O(r^2) in operator-product expansion. It indicates that a "Coulomb+linear" potential at r <~ 1/Lambda_QCD is included in the…
We show analytically that the QCD potential can be expressed, up to an O(Lambda_QCD^3 r^2) uncertainty, as the sum of a ``Coulomb'' potential (with log corrections at short distances) and a linear potential, within an approximation based on…
We calculate the uncertainties in the position and momentum of a particle in the 1D potential V(x)=F|x|, F>0, when the position and momentum operators obey the deformed commutation relation [x,p]=i\hbar(1+\beta p^2), \beta>0. As in the…
Recently evidence has been found that the perturbative QCD potential agrees well with phenomenological potentials and lattice computations of the QCD potential. We review the present status of the perturbative QCD potential and theoretical…
We determine the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ from the static QCD potential by matching a theoretical calculation with a lattice QCD computation. We employ a new theoretical formulation based on the operator product expansion, in…
The perturbatively calculable short distance QCD potential is known to two loops including the effect of massive quarks. Recently, a simple approximate solution in momentum space was utilized to obtain the potential in coordinate space. The…
We compare the perturbatively calculated QCD potential to that obtained from lattice calculations in the theory without light quark flavours. We examine E_tot(r) = 2 m_pole + V_QCD(r) by re-expressing it in the MSbar mass m =…
We show that the O(Lambda) ambiguity in the pole mass can be fixed in a natural way by introducing a modified nonperturbative V-scheme momentum space coupling tilde-alphaV(q) where the confining contributions have been subtracted out. The…
Within an effective field theory framework, we obtain an expression for the next-to-leading term in the $1/m$ expansion of the singlet $Q{\bar Q}$ QCD potential in terms of Wilson loops, which holds beyond perturbation theory. The…
The present knowledge of QCD confining forces between static test charges is summarised, with an emphasis on lattice results. Recent developments in relating QCD potentials to quarkonium properties by use of effective field theory methods…
For a quantum particle with a single degree of freedom, we derive preparational sum and product uncertainty relations satisfied by $N$ linear combinations of position and momentum observables. The state-independent bounds depend on their…
We analyze the static QCD potential V_QCD(r) in the distance region 0.1 fm < r < 1 fm using perturbative QCD and OPE as basic theoretical tools. We assemble theoretical developments up to date and perform a solid and accurate analysis. The…
The relativistic correction to the QCD static inter-quark potential at O(1/m) is investigated nonperturbatively for the first time by using lattice Monte Carlo QCD simulations. The correction is found to be comparable with the Coulombic…
We prove an uncertainty relation, which imposes a bound on any joint measurement of position and momentum. It is of the form $(\Delta P)(\Delta Q)\geq C\hbar$, where the `uncertainties' quantify the difference between the marginals of the…
When the cancellation of the leading renormalon contributions is incorporated, the total energy of a b bbar system, E_{tot,bbbar}(r) = 2 m_{pole,b} + V_QCD(r), agrees well with the potentials used in phenomenological models for heavy…
Wavefunction at the origin with the incorporation of relativistic effect leads to singularity in a specific potential model. To regularise the wavefunction, we introduce a short distance scale here and use it to estimate masses and decay…
We investigate the $u=1/2$ [$\mathcal{O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD})$] and $u=3/2$ [$\mathcal{O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD}^3)$] renormalons in the static QCD potential in position space and momentum space using the OPE of the potential-NRQCD effective field…
We combine the known asymptotic behaviour of the QCD perturbation series expansion, which relates the pole mass of a heavy quark to the MSbar mass, with the exact series coefficients up to the four-loop order to determine the ultimate…
