In the paper, we study the properties of the $Z$-boson hadronic decay width by using the $mathcal{O}(alpha_s^4)$-order quantum chromodynamics (QCD) corrections with the help of the principle of maximum conformality (PMC). By using the PMC single-scale approach, we obtain an accurate renormalization scale-and-scheme independent perturbative QCD (pQCD) correction for the $Z$-boson hadronic decay width, which is independent to any choice of renormalization scale. After applying the PMC, a more convergent pQCD series has been obtained; and the contributions from the unknown $mathcal{O}(alpha_s^5)$-order terms are highly suppressed, e.g. conservatively, we have $Delta Gamma_{rm Z}^{rm had}|^{{cal O}(alpha_s^5)}_{rm PMC}simeq pm 0.004$ MeV. In combination with the known electro-weak (EW) corrections, QED corrections, EW-QCD mixed corrections, and QED-QCD mixed corrections, our final prediction of the hadronic $Z$ decay width is $Gamma_{rm Z}^{rm had}=1744.439^{+1.390}_{-1.433}$ MeV, which agrees with the PDG global fit of experimental measurements, $1744.4pm 2.0$ MeV.

The Higgs boson decay channel, $Htogammagamma$, is one of the most important channels for probing the properties of the Higgs boson. In the paper, we reanalyze its decay width by using the QCD corrections up to $alpha_s^4$-order level. The principle
of maximum conformality has been adopted to achieve a precise pQCD prediction without conventional renormalization scheme-and-scale ambiguities. By taking the Higgs mass as the one given by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, i.e. $M_{H}=125.09pm0.21pm0.11$ GeV, we obtain $Gamma(Hto gammagamma)|_{rm LHC}=9.364^{+0.076}_{-0.075}$ KeV.
In the paper, we analyze the properties of Gross-Llewellyn Smith (GLS) sum rule by using the $mathcal{O}(alpha_s^4)$-order QCD corrections with the help of principle of maximum conformality (PMC). By using the PMC single-scale approach, we obtain an
accurate renormalization scale-and-scheme independent fixed-order pQCD contribution for GLS sum rule, e.g. $S^{rm GLS}(Q_0^2=3{rm GeV}^2)|_{rm PMC}=2.559^{+0.023}_{-0.024}$, where the error is squared average of those from $Deltaalpha_s(M_Z)$, the predicted $mathcal{O}(alpha_s^5)$-order terms predicted by using the Pad{e} approximation approach. After applying the PMC, a more convergent pQCD series has been obtained, and the contributions from the unknown higher-order terms are highly suppressed. In combination with the nonperturbative high-twist contribution, our final prediction of GLS sum rule agrees well with the experimental data given by the CCFR collaboration.
A key problem in making precise perturbative QCD predictions is the uncertainty in determining the renormalization scale $mu$ of the running coupling $alpha_s(mu^2).$ The purpose of the running coupling in any gauge theory is to sum all terms involvi
ng the $beta$ function; in fact, when the renormalization scale is set properly, all non-conformal $beta e 0$ terms in a perturbative expansion arising from renormalization are summed into the running coupling. The remaining terms in the perturbative series are then identical to that of a conformal theory; i.e., the corresponding theory with $beta=0$. The resulting scale-fixed predictions using the principle of maximum conformality (PMC) are independent of the choice of renormalization scheme -- a key requirement of renormalization group invariance. The results avoid renormalon resummation and agree with QED scale-setting in the Abelian limit. The PMC is also the theoretical principle underlying the BLM procedure, commensurate scale relations between observables, and the scale-setting method used in lattice gauge theory. The number of active flavors $n_f$ in the QCD $beta$ function is also correctly determined. We discuss several methods for determining the PMC scale for QCD processes. We show that a single global PMC scale, valid at leading order, can be derived from basic properties of the perturbative QCD cross section. The elimination of the renormalization scale ambiguity and the scheme dependence using the PMC will not only increase the precision of QCD tests, but it will also increase the sensitivity of collider experiments to new physics beyond the Standard Model.
In the paper, we study the $Upsilon(1S)$ leptonic decay width $Gamma(Upsilon(1S)to ell^+ell^-)$ by using the principle of maximum conformality (PMC) scale-setting approach. The PMC adopts the renormalization group equation to set the correct momentum
flow of the process, whose value is independent to the choice of the renormalization scale and its prediction thus avoids the conventional renormalization scale ambiguities. Using the known next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order perturbative series together with the PMC single scale-setting approach, we do obtain a renormalization scale independent decay width, $Gamma_{Upsilon(1S) to e^+ e^-} = 1.262^{+0.195}_{-0.175}$ keV, where the error is squared average of those from $alpha_s(M_{Z})=0.1181pm0.0011$, $m_b=4.93pm0.03$ GeV and the choices of factorization scales within $pm 10%$ of their central values. To compare with the result under conventional scale-setting approach, this decay width agrees with the experimental value within errors, indicating the importance of a proper scale-setting approach.
It has been observed that conventional renormalization scheme and scale ambiguities for the pQCD predictions can be eliminated by using the principle of maximum conformality (PMC). However, being the intrinsic nature of any perturbative theory, there
are still two types of residual scale dependences due to uncalculated higher-order terms. In the paper, as a step forward of our previous work [Phys.Rev.D {bf 89},116001(2014)], we reanalyze the electroweak $rho$ parameter by using the PMC single-scale approach. Using the PMC conformal series and the Pad$acute{e}$ approximation approach, we observe that the residual scale dependence can be greatly suppressed and then a more precise pQCD prediction up to ${rm N^4LO}$-level can be achieved, e.g. $Deltarho|_{rm PMC}simeq(8.204pm0.012)times10^{-3}$, where the errors are squared averages of those from unknown higher-order terms and $Deltaalpha_s(M_Z)=pm 0.0010$. We then predict the magnitudes of the shifts of the $W$-boson mass and the effective leptonic weak-mixing angle: $delta M_{W}|_{rm N^4LO} =-0.26$ MeV and $delta sin^2{theta}_{rm eff}|_{rm N^4LO}=0.14times10^{-5}$, which are well below the precision anticipated for the future electron-position colliders such as FCC, CEPC and ILC. Thus by measuring those parameters, it is possible to test SM with high precision.
