Precision charmonium and D physics from lattice QCD and determination of the charm quark mass
نویسنده
چکیده
I will describe recent results from the HPQCD collaboration using a new very accurate method for charm quarks in lattice QCD, that we have used in calculations including the full effect of u, d and s sea quarks. Multiple values of the lattice spacing and of the u, d and s sea quark masses allow us to extrapolate reliably, with a full error budget, to the real world. This opens up the field of charm physics to precision lattice QCD tests. So far we have calculated the D and Ds meson masses to 6 MeV, having fixed the charm quark mass from the ηc meson. Our D and Ds decay constants (determined to 2%) make an interesting comparison to CLEO-c results as we await improved experimental errors. We are also able to determine the charm quark mass to an accuracy of 1% using charmonium correlators and high-order continuum QCD perturbation theory. Future calculations are briefly discussed.

Charm quark mass from QCD sum rules for the charmonium system
In this work, the charm quark mass is obtained from a QCD sum rule analysis of the charmonium system. In our investigation we include results from nonrelativistic QCD at next-to-next-to-leading order. Using the pole mass scheme, we obtain a value of Mc = 1.70± 0.13 GeV for the charm pole mass. The introduction of a potential-subtracted mass leads to an improved scale dependence. The running MS-...
متن کاملHeavy Quarks on the Lattice
I review the basic ideas behind lattice QCD calculations that involve charm and bottom quarks. I report on the progress in getting the correct hyperfine splitting in charmonium from lattice QCD. Some of the basic technology behind numerical lattice QCD calculations is explained by studying some specific examples: computation of the charm quark mass, and the calculation of fB .

There is considerable interest in the spectrum of D and Ds mesons and of charmonium both theoretically and experimentally. On the theory side first principles calculations are usually lattice QCD computations (for recent work cf. e.g. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]). In the last couple of years a lot of progress has been made, allowing the determination of hadron masses like the aforementioned mesons with ...

We compute masses of D meson, Ds meson and charmonium states using Nf = 2 + 1 + 1 Wilson twisted mass lattice QCD. All results are extrapolated to physical light quark masses, physical strange and charm quark masses and to the continuum. Our analysis includes states with spin J = 0, 1, 2, parity P = −,+ and in case of charmonium also charge conjugation C = −,+. Computations are based on a large...
متن کاملLattice QCD review of charmonium and open-charm spectroscopy
Lattice QCD results on the spectroscopy of charmonium(like) states and open charm mesons are reviewed. Near-threshold states X(3872) and D s0(2317) were treated rigorously for the first time and the searches for Z c (3900), X(4140) and ccud were carried out. The first simulations of the resonances with charm quarks have been performed, including the determination of their strong decay widths. S...
