We present results for tetraquark potentials of two static anti-quarks $\bar b \bar b$ in the presence of two light quarks $u$ and/or $d$. We improve on existing results by computing the static potential also for off-axis separations, which…
It had been known that the Borel transforms of the twice quark pole mass 2*mq and of the QCD q-barq static potential V(r) have leading infrared renormalons at b=1/2 such that they cancel in the sum. The renormalon residue of 2*mq had been…
