RI/MOM renormalization constants (N_f=4) and the strong coupling constant (N_f=2+1+1) from twisted-mass QCD

Understand

We study RI/MOM renormalization constants of bilinear quark operators for $N_f=4$ and the strong coupling constant for $N_f=2+1+1$ using Wilson twisted-mass fermions.

• We use the "egalitarian" method to remove H(4) hypercubic artifacts non-perturbatively, which enables us to study physical quantities in a wide range of momenta.
• We then apply OPE in studying the running behavior of $Z_q$ and $\alpha_s$, from which we are able to extract the Landau gauge dimension-two gluon condensate $<A^2>$ which is of phenomenological interest.
