Contribution of charm anihilation to the hyperfine splitting in charmonium in the quenched case

چکیده
In calculations of the hyperfine splitting in charmonium, the contributions of the disconnected diagrams is considered small and is typically ignored. We aim to estimate nonperturbatively the size of the resulting error, which could potentially affect the high precision calculations of the charmonium spectrum. Following our work on the effects of the disconnected diagrams in unquenched QCD presented at Lattice 2007, we study the same problem in the quenched case. On dynamical ensembles the disconnected charmonium propagators contain light modes which complicate the extraction of the signal at large distances. In the fully quenched case, where there are no such light modes, the interpretation of the signal is simplified. We present results from lattices with a ≈ 0.09 fm and a ≈ 0.063 fm.

Charmonium Spectrum from Quenched QCD with Overlap Fermions
Overlap fermions have the following desirable features: • Exact chiral symmetry on the lattice. • No additive quark mass renormalization. • No flavor symmetry breaking. • No O(a) error. • The O(ma) and O(ΛQCDma) errors are also small, from dispersion relation and renormalization constants. The first two features are especially significant for light quarks. Many exciting results at low quark mas...
متن کاملCharmonium spectrum from quenched QCD on anisotropic lattices
We present our final results of the charmonium spectrum in quenched QCD on anisotropic lattices. Simulations are made with the plaquette gauge action and a tadpole improved clover quark action employing ξ = as/at = 3. We calculate the spectrum of Sand P-states and their excitation, and study the scaling behavior of mass splittings. Comparison is made with the experiment and previous lattice res...
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 .

We study charmonium using the standard relativistic formalism in the quenched approximation, on a set of lattices with isotropic lattice spacings ranging from 0.1 to 0.04 fm. We concentrate on the calculation of the hyperfine splitting between ηc and J/ψ, aiming for a controlled continuum extrapolation of this quantity. The splitting extracted from the non-perturbatively improved clover Dirac o...
متن کاملThe Hyperfine Splitting in Charmonium: Lattice Computations using the Wilson and Clover Fermion Actions
We compute the hyperfine splitting mJ/ψ − mηc on the lattice, using both the Wilson and O(a)-improved (clover) actions for quenched quarks. The computations are performed on a 243×48 lattice at β = 6.2, using the same set of 18 gluon configurations for both fermion actions. We find that the splitting is 1.83 + 13 − 15 times larger with the clover action than with the Wilson action, demonstratin...
