Abstract Many lattice studies of heavy quark diffusion originate from a colour-electric correlator, obtained as a leading term after an expansion in the inverse of the heavy-quark mass. In view of the fact that the charm quark is not particularly heavy, we consider subleading terms in the expansion. Working out correlators up to $$ \mathcal{O} $$ O (1/M2), we argue that the leading corrections are suppressed by $$ \mathcal{O} $$ O (T/M), and one of them can be extracted from a colour-magnetic correlator. The corresponding transport coefficient is non-perturbative already at leading order in the weak-coupling expansion, and therefore requires a non­perturbative determination.

We demonstrate from heavy quark symmetry that the width of D(2637) claimed by the DELPHI Collaboration is inconsistent with any bound state with one charm quark predicted in the D(2637) mass region, except possibly the D-wave orbitally excited states [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] or the radially excited state D′. The former two possibilities are favoured by heavy quark mass relations.

Abstract We present predictions for heavy-quark production at the Large Hadron Collider making use of the $$ \overline{\mathrm{MS}} $$ MS ¯ and MSR renormalization schemes for the heavy-quark mass as alternatives to the widely used on-shell renormalization scheme. We compute single and double differential distributions including QCD corrections at next-to-leading order and investigate the renormalization and factorization scale dependence as well as the perturbative convergence in these mass renormalization schemes. The implementation is based on publicly available programs, MCFM and xFitter, extending their capabilities. Our results are applied to extract the top-quark mass using measurements of the total and differential $$ t\overline{t} $$ t t ¯ production cross-sections and to investigate constraints on parton distribution functions, especially on the gluon distribution at low x values, from available LHC data on heavy-flavor hadro-production.

We show that semileptonic and electromagnetic decays involving spin-1/2 doubly heavy bc baryons are very sensitive to hyperfine mixing in their wave functions. We further show how heavy quark spin symmetry relations, obtained in the infinite heavy quark mass limit and near zero recoil, could be used to extract the admixtures in a model independent way from semileptonic decay data. On the other hand the infinite heavy quark mass limit gives wrong predictions in the electromagnetic case.

We investigate a connection between a renormalon ambiguity of heavy quark mass and the gluon condensate contribution into the quark dispersion law related to a virtuality defining a displacement of the heavy quark from the perturbative mass-shell, which happens inside a hadron.
