Matching coefficients for improved staggered bilinears ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
We calculate one-loop matching factors for bilinear operators composed of improved staggered fermions. We compare the results for different improvement schemes used in the recent literature, including the HYP action and an action close to the Asqtad action. We find that all improvement schemes substantially reduce the size of the one-loop contributions to matching factors. The resulting corrections are comparable to, or smaller than, those found with Wilson and domain-wall fermions.

Improvement of the Staggered Fermion Operators
We present a complete and detailed derivation of the finite lattice spacing corrections to staggered fermion matrix elements. Expanding upon arguments of Sharpe, we explicitly implement the Symanzik improvement program demonstrating the absence of order a terms in the Symanzik improved action. We propose a general program to improve fermion operators to remove O(a) corrections from their matrix...

We present a chronological review of the progress in calculating weak matrix elements using staggered fermions. We review the perturbative calculation of one-loop matching formula including both current-current diagrams and penguin diagrams using improved staggered fermions. We also present preliminary results of weak matrix elements relevant to CP violation calculated using the improved (HYP (...

Expanding upon the arguments of Sharpe, we explicitly implement the Symanzik improvement program demonstrating the absence of order a terms in the staggered fermion action. We propose a general program to improve fermion operators to remove O(a) corrections from their matrix elements, and demonstrate this program for the examples of matrix elements of fermion bilinears and BK . We also determin...

It is important to pursue simulations with Wilson-like fermions, despite their greater computational cost than staggered fermions, because one avoids the theoretical uncertainty associated with taking roots of the fermion determinant. One drawback with Wilson fermions is that they lead to discretization errors of O(a), slowing the approach to the continuum. This can be ameliorated using anO(a) ...

The low energy effective Hamiltonian of the standard model includes ∆S = 1 four-fermion operators with corresponding Wilson coefficients, which contains all the short-distance physics. The low energy effects of the electroweak and strong interactions can be expressed in terms of matrix elements of the four-fermion operators between hadronic states. Lattice QCD is wellsuited to calculate these m...
