Strong coupling constant from the 1-loop improved static energy

Viljami Leino, Alexei Bazavov, Nora Brambilla +8

The static energy is an excellent observable for extracting the strong coupling on the lattice. For short distances, the static energy can be calculated both on the lattice u…

Towards determination of the strong coupling from four-flavor lattice QCD using the continuous -function method

Yash Mandlecha, Alexei Bazavov, Akhil Chauhan +10

The precise value of the strong coupling at the -boson mass is essential for high-energy phenomenology and precision tests of quantum chromodynamics (QCD).…

Kaon leptonic and semileptonic decays with HISQ fermions

Ramón Merino, Alexei Bazavov, Claude W. Bernard +9

Precision tests of the Standard Model (SM) currently show a deficit in first-row Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) unitarity. In this talk, we discuss progress towards a correlated a…

High-Precision Scale Setting with the Omega-Baryon Mass and Gradient Flow

Alexei Bazavov, Claude W. Bernard, David A. Clarke +23

The gradient-flow scale in lattice QCD is determined using the mass of the baryon to set the physical scale. Nine ensembles using the highly improved staggered quark (H…

Strong coupling in (2+1+1)-flavor QCD

Viljami Leino, Alexei Bazavov, Nora Brambilla +6

The strong coupling can be obtained from the static energy as shown in previous lattices studies. For short distances, the static energy can be calculated both on th…

Hadronic vacuum polarization for the muon from lattice QCD: Long-distance and full light-quark connected contribution

Alexei Bazavov, Claude W. Bernard, David A. Clarke +22

We present results for the dominant light-quark connected contribution to the long-distance window (LD) of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution (HVP) to the muon fro…
