Matter dependence of the four-loop QCD cusp anomalous dimension: from small angles to all angles

Abstract We compute the fermionic contributions to the cusp anomalous dimension in QCD at four loops as an expansion for small cusp angle. As a byproduct we also obtain the respective terms of the four-loop HQET wave function anomalous dimension. Our new results at small angles provide stringent tes...
