Renormalization group analysis of the QCD quark potential to order v^2

TL;DR

This paper applies renormalization group techniques to analyze relativistic corrections to the static QCD potential at order v^2, summing large logarithms and comparing results with prior studies.

Contribution

It introduces a velocity renormalization group approach to sum logarithmic terms in the QCD potential corrections at order v^2, providing a novel analysis method.

Findings

Summed ln(m/mv) and ln(m/mv^2) terms using velocity renormalization group.

Provided results consistent with previous calculations in the literature.

Enhanced understanding of relativistic corrections in QCD potential analysis.

Abstract

A one-loop renormalization group analysis of the order v^2 relativistic corrections to the static QCD potential is presented. The velocity renormalization group is used to simultaneously sum ln(m/mv) and ln(m/mv^2) terms. The results are compared to previous calculations in the literature.
