We compare the light hadron spectrum and decay constants for quenched QCD at $\beta=6.2$ using an $O(a)$-improved nearest-neighbour Wilson fermion action with those obtained using the standard Wilson fermion action on the same set of 18…
I consider the recent proposal by R. Frezzotti and G. Rossi to chirally improve Wilson fermions in such a way that mixings among operators of different chirality can be excluded. The method, which is based on the use of twisted mass QCD…
We present results of a high statistics study (O(2000) configurations) of the quark masses in the MS-bar scheme from Lattice QCD in the quenched approximation at beta=6.0, beta=6.2 and beta=6.4 using both the Wilson and the tree-level…
The coefficient of the O(a)-improved Sheikholeslami-Wohlert action for Wilson fermions are perturbatively determined at one-loop level and estimated at two-loop level.
We determine the renormalization constants for flavor non-singlet fermion bilinear operators of M\"obius domain-wall fermions. The renormalization condition is imposed on the correlation functions in the coordinate space, such that the…
The ALPHA collaboration has determined the O(a) improved Wilson quark action for lattice spacings $a\leq 0.1$ fm, in the quenched approximation. We extend this result to coarser lattices, $a\leq 0.17$ fm, and calculate the hadron spectrum…
Some basic concepts are discussed to derive renormalisation factors of local lattice operators relevant to deep inelastic structure functions and to other measurable quantities. These $Z$ factors can be used to relate matrix elements…
The chirally rotated Schroedinger functional provides a test bed for universality and automatic O(a) improvement. We here report on extensive quenched simulations of lattice QCD with Wilson quarks in the massless limit. We demonstrate that,…
Renormalization constants ($Z$-factors) of vector and axial-vector currents are determined non-perturbatively in quenched QCD for a renormalization group improved gauge action and a tadpole improved clover quark action using the…
Quark currents renormalization constants can in principle be safely computed in lattice perturbation theory. In practice, traditional lattice perturbative computations are quite cumbersome, so that so far only the first loop results were…
We study the behaviour of the vector and axial current renormalisation constants $Z_V$ and $Z_A$ as a function of the quark mass, $m_q$. We show that sizeable $O(am_q)$ and $O(g_0^2 a m_q)$ systematic effects are present in the Wilson and…
The renormalon calculus is used to calculate the terms of order $\beta_0^{n-1}\alpha_s^n$ in the perturbative expansions of the Wilson coefficients and hard-scattering kernels entering the QCD factorization formula for hadronic B-meson…
We present results for the mass spectrum and decay constants using non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions. Three values of $\beta$ and 30 different quark masses are used to obtain the chiral and continuum limits. Special emphasis…
We consider the on-shell mass and wave function renormalization constants $Z_m^{\rm OS}$ and $Z_2^{\rm OS}$ up to three-loop order allowing for a second non-zero quark mass. We obtain analytic results in terms of harmonic polylogarithms and…
We employ the chirally rotated Schr\"odinger functional ($\chi$SF) to study two-point fermion bilinear correlation functions used in the determination of $Z_{A,V,S,P,T}$ on a series of well-tuned ensembles. The gauge configurations, which…
Using Schroedinger functional techniques, we determine the coefficient of the clover term necessary for non-perturbative O(a) improvement of hypercubic smeared Wilson fermions on a quenched plaquette action background. Unlike for unsmeared…
We apply the Schroedinger Functional (SF) formalism to determine the renormalisation group running of four-fermion operators which appear in the effective weak Hamiltonian of the Standard Model. Our calculations are done using Wilson…
We determine a basis of dimension-7 operators which arise at O($a$) in the Symanzik expansion of the $\Delta B=2$ operators with static heavy quarks. We consider both Wilson-like and Ginsparg-Wilson light quarks. Exact chiral symmetry…
We compute lattice renormalisation constants of local bilinear quark operators for overlap fermions and improved gauge actions. Among the actions we consider are the Symanzik, L\"uscher-Weisz, Iwasaki and DBW2 gauge actions. The results are…
We briefly review and compare three methods (one perturbative, one based on Ward Identities and one non-perturbative) for the calculation of the renormalization constants of lattice operators. The following results are presented: (a) non…
