%0 Journal Article %T The Renormalization Group Improvement of the QCD Static Potentials %A Antonio Pineda %A Joan Soto %J Physics %D 2000 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/S0370-2693(00)01261-2 %X We resum the leading ultrasoft logs of the singlet and octet static QCD potentials within potential NRQCD. We then obtain the complete three-loop renormalization group improvement of the singlet QCD static potential. The discrepancies between the perturbative evaluation and the lattice results at short distances are slightly reduced. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0007197v2
