RT Journal Article T1 Novel method for the physical scale setting on the lattice and its application to Nf=4 simulations A1 Blossier, B. A1 Boucaud, Ph. A1 Brinet, M. A1 Soto Borrero, Feliciano Carlos de A1 Morenas, V. A1 Pène, O. A1 Petrov, K. A1 Rodríguez Quintero, José AB This paper reports on a new procedure for the lattice spacing setting that takes advantage of the very precise determination of the strong coupling in the Taylor scheme. Although it can be applied for the physical scale setting with the experimental value of ΛMS¯¯¯¯ as an input, the procedure is particularly appropriate for relative “calibrations.” The method is here applied for simulations with four degenerate light quarks in the sea and leads to prove that their physical scale is compatible with the same one for simulations with two light and two heavy flavors.
