photon spectrum in the soft-energy region

This talk discusses the calculation of the orthopositronium (o-Ps) decay spectrum in the soft-energy region using the NRQED approach and the threshold expansion of 1-loop diagrams. The results have relevance for heavy quarkonium and Upsilon decays.

Outline • Motivation • The oPs decay spectrum for • The soft-radiation loop momentum region • spectrum for • Summary • NRQED calculation • QED spectrum in the soft-energy region ________________________________________________________ EFT09: International Workshop on Effective Field Theories, Valencia, Feb 2nd

  3. Motivation • orthopositronium (o-Ps) decay spectrum for • NRQED, includes binding effects • satisfies Low´s theorem for [ Manohar, RF ’03 ] • valid for the whole region ? new non-relativistic mode? does NRQED provide the right expansion for ? ________________________________________________________ EFT09: International Workshop on Effective Field Theories, Valencia, Feb 2nd

  4. NRQED computation of the oPs spectrum • there is a long-distance part in the decay when one of the photons in the final state is not hard short-distance part hard photons long-distance part Coulomb Hamiltonian ________________________________________________________ EFT09: International Workshop on Effective Field Theories, Valencia, Feb 2nd

  9. Threshold expansion of QED 1-loop diagrams Beneke, Smirnov ‘98 • asymptotic expansion of loop integrals involving heavy massive particles close to threshold • separation of regions achieved by expanding loop momenta according to the v-scaling above (each region contributes to a single power of v) ________________________________________________________ EFT09: International Workshop on Effective Field Theories, Valencia, Feb 2nd
