Avoiding the Landau pole in perturbative QCD

Abstract

We propose an alternative perturbative expansion for QCD. All scheme and scale dependence is reduced to one free parameter. Fixing this parameter with a fastest apparent convergence criterion gives sensible results in the whole energy region. We apply the expansion to the calculation of the zero flavor triple gluon vertex, the quark gluon vertex, the gluon propagator and the ghost propagator. A qualitative agreement with the corresponding lattice results is found.
