Abstract
Based on a simple but effective regularization-renormalization method (RRM), the running coupling constants (RCC) of fermions with masses in quantum electrodynamics (QED) and quantum chromodynamics (QCD) are calculated by renormalization group equation (RGE). Starting at Q=0 (Q being the momentum transfer), the RCC in QED increases with the increase of Q whereas the RCCs for different flavors of quarks with masses in QCD are different and they increase with the decrease of Q to reach a maximum at low Q for each flavor of quark and then decreases to zero at Q→0. Thus a constraint on the mass of light quarks, the hadronization energy scale of quark–antiquark pairs are derived.
