Renormalization of quantum chromodynamics

Abstract
Renormalization of quantum chromodynamics is carried out by means of a momentum-space subtraction scheme, which is computationally simple, provides a welldefined procedure for the determination of renormalization constants, and is equally applicable to light and heavy quarks. We also obtain the renormalization-group parameters, verify the decoupling theorem for heavy quarks, and compute the effective coupling constant and effective quark masses.
