Abstract

Gluon and ghost propagators data, obtained in Landau gauge from lattice simulations with two light and two heavy dynamical quark flavours (NfN_f=2+1+1), are described here with a running formula including a four-loop perturbative expression and a nonperturbative OPE correction dominated by the local operator A2A^2. The Wilson coefficients and their variation as a function of the coupling constant are extracted from the numerical data and compared with the theoretical expressions that, after being properly renormalized, are known at O(α4){\cal O}(\alpha^4). As also Λ\msbar\Lambda_{\msbar} is rather well known for NfN_f=2+1+1, this allows for a precise consistency test of the OPE approach in the joint description of different observables.
