Description

We compute the $\Lambda$-parameter of SU($N$) Yang--Mills theories for $N=3,5,8$ using the step-scaling method. We use the gradient flow scale $t_0$ for scale setting, and we implement the step-scaling method in the twisted gradient flow scheme, a finite-volume renormalization scheme that combines twisted boundary conditions with a coupling defined via the gradient flow. By extrapolating our results for $N=3,5,8$, we also obtain the first determination of the large-$N$ $\Lambda$-parameter that does not rely on asymptotic scaling.
