Recent calculations of the nonperturbative contribution to Δρ based on a non-relativistic calculation of corrections to the t¯t threshold are inconsistent with this result.6457 - 6462 (6) page(s)In CopyrightAstronomy & AstrophysicsPhysics, Particles & FieldsPhysicsVACUUM-POLARIZATION FUNCTIONSQCDTHRESHOLDBOSONSWIDTHArticle - Refereedhttps://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.51.64575111
