Hunting the static energy renormalon

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We employ Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory (NSPT) together with twisted boundary conditions (TBC) to search for the leading renormalon in the perturbative expansion of the static energy. This renormalon is expected to emerge four times faster than the one for the gluon conden- sate in the plaquette. We extract the static energy from Polyakov loop calculations up to 12 loops and present preliminary results, indicating a significant step towards confirming the theoretical expectation.
