Surviving the renormalon in heavy quark potential

arXiv:hep-ph/0210032 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.67.014020

Abstract

We show that the Borel resummed perturbative static potential at N_f=0 converges well, and is in a remarkable agreement with the quenched lattice calculation at distances 1/r > 660 MeV. This shows that Borel resummation is very good at handling the renormalon in the static potential (and in the pole mass), and allows one to use the pole mass in perturbative calculation of heavy quark physics.
