Heavy-Meson Bag Parameters using Gradient Flow

Matthew Black, Robert V. Harlander, Jonas T. Kohnen +4

We demonstrate the use of the gradient flow combined with the short flow-time expansion (GF+SFTX) as a renormalization procedure for four-quark operator matrix elements and associa…

Bag Parameters for Heavy Meson Lifetimes

Matthew Black, Robert V. Harlander, Jonas T. Kohnen +4

We calculate the dimension-six four-quark matrix elements describing heavy-meson lifetime ratios using the gradient flow with its short flow-time expansion as a renormaliza…

A new approach to quark mass determination using the gradient flow

Hiromasa Takaura, Robert V. Harlander, Fabian Lange

We propose a new method to determine quark masses using ratios of the vacuum-expectation values (VEVs) of flowed quark bilinear operators. They can be expressed as functions of the…

Gradient Flow Renormalisation for Meson Mixing and Lifetimes

Matthew Black, Robert Harlander, Fabian Lange +3

Fermionic gradient flow in combination with the short-flow-time expansion provides a computational method where the renormalisation of hadronic matrix elements on the lattice can b…

Determining the Quark Mass with the Gradient Flow

Hiromasa Takaura, Robert Harlander, Fabian Lange

We propose a new method to determine the quark mass by using bilinear operators of the flowed quark field defined within the gradient-flow formalism. This method enables the quark…

Short-flow-time expansion of quark bilinears through next-to-next-to-leading order QCD

Janosch Borgulat, Robert V. Harlander, Jonas T. Kohnen +1

The gradient-flow formalism proves to be a useful tool in lattice calculations of quantum chromodynamics. For example, it can be used as a scheme to renormalize composite operators…
