Description

SU(2) with Nf=8 flavors of fundamental fermions is expected to feature an infrared fixed point (IRFP). We measure the evolution of the coupling constant with Schrödinger functional boundary conditions and gradient flow, using HEX-smeared Wilson-clover action. We observe clear evidence for a fixed point, qualitatively compatible with perturbative results.
