We present analytic formulae for the QCD renormalization group factors relating the Wilson coefficients C_i(mu_t) and C_i(mu), with mu_t = O(m_t) and mu < mu_t, of the Delta F=2 dimension six four-quark operators Q_i in the Standard Model…

We present a first scaling test of twisted mass QCD with pure Wilson quarks for a twisting angle of pi/2. We have computed the vector meson mass and the pseudoscalar decay constant for different values of beta at fixed value of r_0 m_PS.…

Splitting functions govern the scale evolution of parton distribution functions. Through a Mellin transformation, they are related to anomalous dimensions of twist-two operators in the operator product expansion. We study off-shell operator…
