Ghost-gluon coupling, power corrections and ΛMSˉΛ_{\bar{\rm MS}} from lattice QCD with a dynamical charm

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

This paper is a first report on the determination of $Λ_{\msbar}$ from lattice simulations with 2+1+1 twisted-mass dynamical flavours {\it via} the computation of the ghost-gluon coupling renormalized in the MOM Taylor scheme. We show this approach allows a very good control of the lattice artefacts and confirm the picture from previous works with quenched and Nf{\rm N}_f=2 twisted-mass field configurations which prove the necessity to include non-perturbative power corrections in the description of the running. We provide with an estimate of $Λ_{\msbar}$ in very good agreement with experimental results. To our knowledge it is the first calculation with a dynamical charm quark which makes the running up to αs(MZ)α_s(M_Z) much safer.
