The large quark mass expansion of Λ(Z0 → hadrons) and Λ(τ− → vτ + hadrons)in the order αs3

Abstract: We present the analytical α 3 s correction to the Z 0 decay rate into hadrons. We calculate this correction up to (and including) terms of the order (m 2 Z /m 2 top ) 3 in the large top quark mass expansion. We rely on the technique of the large mass expansion of individual Feynman diagrams and treat its application in detail. We convert the obtained results of six flavour QCD to the results in the effective theory with five active flavours, checking the decoupling relation of the QCD coupling constant. We als… Show more

“…To facilitate the numerical analysis, we then prefer to rewrite the full expression for M n in terms of the coupling a defined in the n l -flavour theory. From the matching relations for a [45][46][47], it follows that this just amounts to using the corresponding β 1 with n l flavours in eq. (2.8).…”

“…The decoupling of heavy quark flavor is realized by the second term on the RHS of Eq. (32) [118][119][120][121], while the third factor gets rid of the additional factor Γ(1 + ǫ) exp(ǫγ E ) through to O(α 2 s ) [122]. The scalar form factors are functions of x.…”
