Hadronic Decays of the Spin-Singlet Heavy Quarkomium under the Principle of Maximum Conformality

The principle of maximum conformality （PMC） provides a way to eliminate the conventional renormalization scale ambiguity in a systematic way. By applying the PMC scale setting, all non-conformal terms in a perturbative series are summed into the running coupling, and one obtains a unique, scale-fixed prediction at any finite order. In this study, we make a detailed PMC analysis for the spin-singlet heavy quarkoniums decay （into light hadrons） at the next-to-leading order. After applying the PMC scale setting, the decay widths for all those cases are ahnost independent of the initial renormalization scales. The PMC scales for ηc and he decays are below 1 GeV; to achieve a confidential pQCD estimation, we adopt several low-energy running coupling models to carry out the estimation. By taking the MPT model, we obtain Г（ηc → LH） = 25.09 -4.28^＋5.52 MeV, F（ηb →LH） 14.34-0.84^＋0.92 feV, Г（hc →LH） = 0.54-0.04^＋0.06 MeV and Г（hb →LH） = 39.89-0.46^＋0.28 keV, where the errors are calculated by taking mc E[1.4OGeV, 1.60GeV] and mb C[4.50GeV, 4.70GeV]. These decay widths agree with the principle of minimum sensitivity estimations, in which the decay widths of ηc,b are also consistent with the measured ones.     

Properties of the decay H→γγ using the approximate α_s~4 corrections and the principle of maximum conformality

The decay channel H→γγ is an important channel for probing the properties of the Higgs boson.In this paper,we analyze its decay width by using the perturbative QCD corrections up to the α_s~4 order with the help of the principle of maximum conformality(PMC).PMC has been suggested in literature for eliminating the conventional renormalization scheme-and-scale ambiguities.After applying PMC,we observe that an accurate renormalization scale independent decay width Γ(H→γγ) up to the N~4 LO level can be achieved.Taking the Higgs mass,M_H = 125.09±0.21 ±0.11 GeV,given by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations,we obtain Γ(H→γγ)|LHC = 9.364_(0.075)~(0.076) KeV.
