Four-loop wave function renormalization in QCD and QED

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2018-04-04 v1

Abstract

We compute the on-shell wave function renormalization constant to four-loop order in QCD and present numerical results for all coefficients of the SU(Nc)(N_c) colour factors. We extract the four-loop HQET anomalous dimension of the heavy quark field and also discuss the application of our result to QED.
