Abstract

In the context of OPE and using the large-β0\beta_0 approximation, we propose a method to define Wilson coefficients free from uncertainties due to IR renormalons. We first introduce a general observable X(Q2)X(Q^2) with an explicit IR cutoff, and then we extract a genuine UV contribution XUVX_\mathrm{UV} as a cutoff-independent part. XUVX_\mathrm{UV} includes power corrections (ΛQCD2/Q2)n\sim (\Lambda_\mathrm{QCD}^2/Q^2)^n which are independent of renormalons. Using the integration-by-regions method, we observe that XUVX_\mathrm{UV} coincides with the leading Wilson coefficient in OPE and also clarify that the power corrections originate from UV region. We examine scheme dependence of XUVX_\mathrm{UV} and single out a specific scheme favorable in terms of analytical properties. Our method would be optimal with respect to systematicity, analyticity and stability. We test our formulation with the examples of the Adler function, QCD force between QQˉQ \bar{Q}, and RR-ratio in e+ee^{+} e^{-} collision.
