Non-perturbative renormalization for general improved staggered bilinears

We present results for non-perturbative renormalization (NPR) factors for staggered fermion bilinears of arbitrary spin and taste. We use "covariant" bilinears which transform irreducibly under the lattice translation and rotation group, and thus do not mix. We form ~ 30 ratios which have no anomalous dimensions, and compare the NPR results to those from 1-loop perturbation theory. We also compare the absolute renormalization factors (which, in general, do have anomalous dimensions) to 1-loop perturbation theory. We use asqtad and HYP-smeared staggered valence fermions on the coarse MILC asqtad lattices.
