Abstract:
The leading beta_0^(n-1) alpha_s^n terms in the Wilson coefficient and anomalous dimension of the chromomagnetic operator in the heavy-quark effective Lagrangian are summed to all orders of perturbation theory. The perturbation series for the anomalous dimension is well behaved, while that for the Wilson coefficient exhibits a divergent behaviour already in low orders, caused by a nearby infrared renormalon singularity. The resulting ambiguity is commensurate with terms of order 1/m^2 in the effective Lagrangian, whose corresponding ultraviolet renormalons are identified. An excellent approximation for the scheme-invariant Wilson coefficient at next-to-next-to-leading order in renormalization-group improved perturbation theory is obtained.
