The static potential to O(α2) in lattice perturbation theory
/ Abstract
Abstract We present a calculation of Wilson loops, and the static inter-quark potential to O(α2) in lattice perturbation theory. This is carried out with the Wilson, Symanzik-Weisz, and Iwasaki gauge actions and the Wilson, Sheikholeslami-Wohlert, and Kogut-Susskind dynamical fermion action for small Wilson loops, and with the Wilson gauge action and each of the dynamical quark actions in the case of the static potential.
