Fixing the renormalization scheme in NNLO perturbative QCD using conformal limit arguments

Author

  • J. Rathsman

Summary, in English

We discuss how the renormalization scheme ambiguities in QCD can be fixed, when two observables are related, by requiring the coefficients in the perturbative expansion relating the two observables to have their conformal limit values, i.e., to be independent of the [Formula presented] function of the renormalized coupling. We show how the next-to-leading order BLM automatic scale-fixing method can be extended to next-to-next-to-leading order to fix both the renormalization scale and [Formula presented] in a unique way. As an example we apply the method to the relation between Bjorken's sum rule and [Formula presented] and compare with experimental data as well as other scheme-fixing methods.
