Analysis of short-distance current correlators using OPE

Abstract

We investigate the correlators of flavor non-singlet bilinear operators calculated on the lattice at short distances. In the continuum theory, non-perturbative effects are encoded in the form of the operator product expansion (OPE). We test the prediction of OPE by comparing lattice results with those in the continuum theory. We also determine the renormalization factors of quark currents.
