Contribution
It presents the first complete calculation of ultrasoft NLL contributions to the quark-antiquark potential at order v in vNRQCD.
Findings
Numerically significant ultrasoft NLL corrections identified.
Completes the ultrasoft NNLL order effects in heavy quark pair processes.
Enhances precision in theoretical predictions near quark-antiquark threshold.
Abstract
Using the nonrelativistic effective field theory vNRQCD, we determine the contribution to the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) running of the effective quark-antiquark potential at order v (1/mk) from diagrams with one potential and two ultrasoft loops, v being the velocity of the quarks in the c.m. frame. The results are numerically important and complete the description of ultrasoft next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) order effects in heavy quark pair production and annihilation close to threshold.
