Two-point functions of quenched lattice QCD in Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory

Abstract

We summarize the higher-loop perturbative computation of the ghost and gluon propagators in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory. Our final aim is to compare with results from lattice simulations in order to expose the genuinely non-perturbative content of the latter. By means of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory we compute the ghost and gluon propagators in Landau gauge up to three and four loops. We present results in the infinite volume and $a\to 0$ limits, based on a general fitting strategy.
