Renormalization of bilinear and four-fermion operators through temporal moments

Abstract

We propose a renormalization scheme that can be simply implemented on the lattice. It consists of the temporal moments of two-point and three-point functions calculated with finite valence quark mass. The scheme is confirmed to yield a consistent result with another renormalization scheme in the continuum limit for the bilinear operators. We apply a similar renormalization scheme for the non-perturbative renormalization of four-fermion operators appearing in the weak effective Hamiltonian.
