RI/MOM renormalization constants (N_f=4) and the strong coupling constant (N_f=2+1+1) from twisted-mass QCD

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study RI/MOM renormalization constants of bilinear quark operators for Nf=4N_f=4 and the strong coupling constant for Nf=2+1+1N_f=2+1+1 using Wilson twisted-mass fermions. We use the "egalitarian" method to remove H(4) hypercubic artifacts non-perturbatively, which enables us to study physical quantities in a wide range of momenta. We then apply OPE in studying the running behavior of ZqZ_q and αsα_s, from which we are able to extract the Landau gauge dimension-two gluon condensate <A2><A^2> which is of phenomenological interest.
