What is the "cusp anomalous dimension", starting from the basics? I came across this term while reading some QCD papers.

Better to ask what it is than to ask where to read about it. People will provide references if they need to. I'm editing accordingly. – David Zaslavsky♦ Dec 2 '11 at 9:40
@David: I looked up the reference, as the original question asked. I hope this is still useful. – Ron Maimon Dec 2 '11 at 11:38
Yeah, of course. If you don't know what something is but you can find a reference for it, that's generally a fine answer to a question asking what it is. – David Zaslavsky♦ Dec 2 '11 at 15:16

I think it's best as a comment, since it no longer answers the question. It is described here: arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9210281 . This is referenced by: arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0204051 , which describes the string theory point of view about this. – Ron Maimon Dec 2 '11 at 18:25
