Abstract

We present results on the renormalization functions of the quark field and fermion bilinears with up to one covariant derivative. For the fermion part of the action we employ the twisted mass formulation with Nf=2N_f{=}2 and Nf=4N_f{=}4 degenerate dynamical quarks, while in the gluon sector we use the Iwasaki improved action. The simulations for Nf=4N_f{=}4 have been performed for pion masses in the range of 390MeV - 760MeV and at three values of the lattice spacing, aa, corresponding to β=1.90,1.95,2.10\beta{=}1.90,\,1.95,\,2.10. The Nf=2N_f{=}2 action includes a clover term with csw=1.57551c_{\rm sw}{=}1.57551 at β=2.10\beta{=}2.10, and three ensembles at different values of mπm_\pi. The evaluation of the renormalization functions is carried out in the RI' scheme using a momentum source. The non-perturbartive evaluation is complemented with a perturbative computation, which is carried out at one-loop level and to all orders in the lattice spacing, aa. For each renormalization function computed non-perturbatively we subtract the corresponding lattice artifacts to all orders in aa, so that a large part of the cut-off effects is eliminated. The renormalization functions are converted to the MS{\overline{\rm MS}} scheme at a reference energy scale of μ=2\mu{=}2 GeV after taking the chiral limit.
