Gluon and ghost propagators data, obtained in Landau gauge from lattice simulations with two light and two heavy dynamical quark flavours ($N_f$=2+1+1), are described here with a running formula including a four-loop perturbative expression and a nonperturbative OPE correction dominated by the local operator $A^2$. The Wilson coefficients and their variation as a function of the coupling constant are extracted from the numerical data and compared with the theoretical expressions that, after being properly renormalized, are known at ${cal O}(alpha^4)$. As also $Lambda_{msbar}$ is rather well known for $N_f$=2+1+1, this allows for a precise consistency test of the OPE approach in the joint description of different observables.

We present simulation details and results for the light hadron spectrum in N f = 2 + 1 lattice QCD with the nonperturbatively O(a)-improved Wilson quark action and the Iwasaki gauge action. Simulations are carried out at a lattice spacing of 0.09 fm on a (2.9fm)^3 box using the PACS-CS computer. We employ the Luschers domain-decomposed HMC algorithm with several improvements to reduce the degenerate up-down quark mass toward the physical value. So far the resulting pseudoscalar meson mass is ranging from 702MeV down to 156MeV. We discuss on the stability and the efficiency of the algorithm. The light harden spectrum extrapolated at the physical point is compared with the experimental values. We also present the values of the quark masses and the pseudoscalar meson decay constants.
We determine the strong coupling constant $alpha_s$ from the static QCD potential by matching a theoretical calculation with a lattice QCD computation. We employ a new theoretical formulation based on the operator product expansion, in which renormal ons are subtracted from the leading Wilson coefficient. We remove not only the leading renormalon uncertainty of $mathcal{O}(Lambda_{rm QCD})$ but also the first $r$-dependent uncertainty of $mathcal{O}(Lambda_{rm QCD}^3 r^2)$. The theoretical prediction for the potential turns out to be valid at the static color charge distance $Lambda_{rm overline{MS}} r lesssim 0.8$ ($r lesssim 0.4$ fm), which is significantly larger than ordinary perturbation theory. With lattice data down to $Lambda_{rm overline{MS}} r sim 0.09$ ($r sim 0.05$ fm), we perform the matching in a wide region of $r$, which has been difficult in previous determinations of $alpha_s$ from the potential. Our final result is $alpha_s(M_Z^2) = 0.1179^{+0.0015}_{-0.0014}$ with 1.3 % accuracy. The dominant uncertainty comes from higher order corrections to the perturbative prediction and can be straightforwardly reduced by simulating finer lattices.
We present a lattice calculation of the renormalized running coupling constant in symmetric (MOM) and asymmetric ($widetilde{rm MOM}$) momentum substraction schemes including $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ quarks in the sea. An Operator Product Expansion domi nated by the dimension-two $langle A^2rangle$ condensate is used to fit the running of the coupling. We argue that the agreement in the predicted $langle A^2rangle$ condensate for both schemes is a strong support for the validity of the OPE approach and the effect of this non-gauge invariant condensate over the running of the strong coupling.
As computing resources are limited, choosing the parameters for a full Lattice QCD simulation always amounts to a compromise between the competing objectives of a lattice spacing as small, quarks as light, and a volume as large as possible. Aiming to push unquenched simulations with the Wilson action towards the computationally expensive regime of small quark masses we address the question whether one can possibly save computing time by extrapolating results from small lattices to the infinite volume, prior to the usual chiral and continuum extrapolations. In the present work the systematic volume dependence of simulated pion and nucleon masses is investigated and compared with a long-standing analytic formula by Luescher and with results from Chiral Perturbation Theory. We analyze data from Hybrid Monte Carlo simulations with the standard (unimproved) two-flavor Wilson action at two different lattice spacings of a=0.08fm and 0.13fm. The quark masses considered correspond to approximately 85 and 50% (at the smaller a) and 36% (at the larger a) of the strange quark mass. At each quark mass we study at least three different lattices with L/a=10 to 24 sites in the spatial directions (L=0.85-2.08fm).
Lattice calculations of the form factors for the charm semileptonic decays D to K l nu and D to pi l nu provide inputs to direct determinations of the CKM matrix elements |V(cs)| and |V(cd)| and can be designed to validate calculations of the form fa ctors for the bottom semileptonic decays B to pi l nu and B to K l l-bar. We are using Fermilab charm (bottom) quarks and asqtad staggered light quarks on the 2+1 flavor asqtad MILC ensembles to calculate the charm (bottom) form factors. We outline improvements to the previous calculation of the charm form factors and detail our progress. We expect our current round of data production to allow us to reduce the theoretical uncertainties in |V(cs)| and |V(cd)| from 10.5% and 11%, respectively, to about 7%.
