Description
I present results for the cusp anomalous dimension in QCD at higher orders. I discuss a general method for determining the massive cusp anomalous dimension to a very high degree of accuracy using its asymptotic behavior at small and large quark velocities, and I present explicit calculations through four loops. Separate results for different values of the number of flavors and for distinct color structures are also given.
