To estimate the values of the coefficients
we study the
behaviour of the vector-vector correlation
function where one can compare the theoretical predictions with
experimental results.
The two-point vector correlation function is defined as

the Gell-Mann matrices normalized as

For
the following expression holds at NPLL order [1]:
where the running of and
at NPLL order can be
extracted from eq. (14) with
terms set to zero.
The real part of the invariant function is related to
its imaginary part through a standard dispersion relation
For a review on QCD spectral Sum rules and the calculation of QCD two-point
Green's functions see [5].
The imaginary part is given in terms of the experimentally known total
hadronic ratio of the annihilation in the isovector channel
with
We have performed a comparison between the QR model parametrization
(20), valid in the energy region ,
and the prediction obtained from a
modelization of the experimental data on

in the channel with the
meson quantum numbers (I=1, J=1).
For a determination of the function
in the
high
region (i.e. beyond the cutoff
) see [7].
We adopted the following parametrization of the experimental hadronic isovector ratio:
This is a generalization of the one proposed in ref. [8], where
corrections due to the finite width of the rho meson have not been included.
KeV is the
width and
is the total widht of the neutral

We used the leading logarithmic approximation for

Expression (24) includes a dependence of
the channel upon the
width and the contribution from the
continuum starting at a threshold
[8].
For the running of

MeV [9] and with
flavours.
The results are practically insensitive to the
running corrections and our leading log approximation turns
out to be adequate.
To extract information on coefficients of
the NTL logarithmic corrections
we made a best fit of the first derivative of the 2-point function coming
from the parametrization (24) of the experimental data:
where the derivative of the VV function in the QR model is given by:
We have used
MeV for the IR cutoff and
GeV for
the UV cutoff, determined by a global fit in ref. [2].
In fig.(1) we show the behaviour of the derivative
of the experimental 2-point function, the curve from the best fit,
which has been done in the region:

The ENJL prediction differs by roughly a

at 0.8 GeV. Most of this discrepancy can be accounted for with the
corrections that we have calculated.
The invariant function obtained from the best fit automatically
match the ENJL function at

corrections to vanish at

The
function obtained with the values (28) and with the
matching of eq. (29) is plotted in fig.(2) and compared
with the ENJL prediction (i.e. including the resummation
of linear chains of quark bubbles and including only logarithmic corrections).
