Borel–Laplace sum rules with τ decay data, using OPE with improved anomalous dimensions

Abstract

We perform numerical analysis of double-pinched Borel–Laplace QCD sum rules for the strangeless semihadronic τ-decay data. The D = 0 contribution to the theoretical contour integral in the sum rules is evaluated by the (truncated) Fixed Order perturbation theory method (FO) and by the Principal Value (PV) of the Borel integration. We use for the full Adler function the operator product expansion (OPE) with the terms ∼〈O D 〉 of dimension D = 2n where 2 ≤ n ≤ 5 for the (V+A)-channel, and 2 ≤ n ≤ 7 for the V-channel data. In our previous works Ayala, Cvetič and Teca (2021, Eur. Phys. J. C 81 930), Ayala, Cvetič and Teca (2022, Eur. Phys. J. C 82 362), only the (V+A)-channel data was analysed. In this work, the analysis of a new set of V-channel data is performed as well. Further, a renormalon-motivated construction of the D = 0 part of the Adler function is improved in the u = 3 infrared renormalon sector, by involving the recently known information on the two principal noninteger values of the effective leading-order anomalous dimensions. Additionally, the OPE of the Adler function has now the D = 6 contribution with the principal anomalous dimension (), and terms of higher dimension (with zero anomalous dimension). Cross-checks of the obtained extracted values of α s and of the condensates were performed by reproduction of the (central) experimental values of several double-pinched momenta a (2,n). The averaged final extracted values of the () coupling are: , corresponding to .
