Lambda-parameter of lattice QCD with Symanzik improved gluon actions
Abstract
We compute the ratio LambdaL/LambdaMS, where the scale parameter LambdaL is associated with a lattice formulation of QCD. We consider a 3-parameter family of gluon actions, which are most frequently used for O(a) improvement a` la Symanzik. The gluon action is put togeter with standard discretizations for fermions (Wilson/clover, overlap), to provide LambdaL for several possible combinations of fermion and gluon actions. We employ the background field technique in order to calculate the 1PI 2-point function of the background field; this leads to the coupling constant renormalization function, Zg, at 1-loop level. Our results are obtained for an extensive range of values for the Symanzik coefficients.
