As a test of quenched lattice twisted mass QCD, we compute the non-perturbatively O($a$) improved pseudoscalar and vector meson masses and the pseudoscalar decay constant down to $M_{\rm PS}/M_{\rm V} = 0.467(13)$ at $\beta=6$ in large…

We determine the improvement coefficients b_m and b_a-bp in quenched lattice QCD for a range of beta-values, which is relevant for current large scale simulations. At fixed beta, the results are rather sensitive to the precise choices of…
We present the results of an extended scaling test of quenched Wilson twisted mass QCD. We fix the twist angle by using two definitions of the critical mass, the first obtained by requiring the vanishing of the pseudoscalar meson mass m_PS…
We improve a previous quenched result for heavy-light pseudoscalar meson decay constants with the light quark taken to be the strange quark. A finer lattice resolution (a ~ 0.05 fm) in the continuum limit extrapolation of the data computed…
We present a non-perturbative determination of the renormalization factor Z_S of the scalar density in quenched QCD with overlap fermions. Results are obtained at four values of the lattice spacing. By combining Z_S with results for the…
A general strategy to solve the non-perturbative renormalization problem in lattice QCD, using finite-size techniques and numerical simulations, is described. As an illustration we discuss the computation of the axial current normalization…
The phenomenology of the pseudo scalar mesons D_s and B_s and of the vector mesons D_s* and B_s* was investigated in simulations of quenched lattice QCD. The work is particularly focused on the continuum limit and the minimisation of all…
The renormalisation group running of the quark mass is determined non-perturbatively for a large range of scales, by computing the step scaling function in the Schroedinger Functional formalism of quenched lattice QCD both with and without…
We investigate the scaling behaviour of quenched Wilson twisted mass fermions at maximal twist applying two definitions of the critical mass. The first definition uses the vanishing of the pseudoscalar meson mass m_PS while the second…
We explain how scale dependent renormalized quantities can be computed using lattice QCD. Two examples are used: the running coupling and quark masses. A reliable computation of the $\Lambda$-parameter in the quenched approximation is…
