Meson correlators in a finite volume near the chiral limit
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the results of our calculation of meson correlators in a finite volume. The calculation is carried out in the quenched approximation near the chiral limit (down to mq = 2.6 MeV) using the overlap fermion. For these small quark masses, the scalar and pseudo-scalar correlators are well approximated with a few hundred eigenmodes. The results for both connected and disconnected correlators are compared with the theoretical predictions of quenched chiral perturbation theory.

Nonfactorization of four-quark condensates at low energies within chiral perturbation theory
Four-quark correlators and the factorization hypothesis are analyzed in the meson sector within chiral perturbation theory. We define the four-quark condensate as limx!0hTð qqÞðxÞð qqÞð0Þi, which is equivalent to other definitions commonly used in the literature. Factorization of the four-quark condensate holds to leading and next to leading order. However, at next to next to leading order, a t...
متن کاملLight hadronic physics using domain wall fermions in quenched lattice QCD
In the past year domain wall fermion simulations have moved from exploratory stages to the point where systematic effects can be studied with different gauge couplings, volumes, and lengths in the fifth dimension. Results are presented here for the chiral condensate, the light hadron spectrum, and the strange quark mass. We focus especially on the pseudoscalar meson mass and show that, in small...

We analyze temporal and spatial meson correlators in quenched lattice QCD at T ≥ 0. Below Tc we observe little change in the meson properties as compared with T = 0. Above Tc we observe new features: chiral symmetry restoration and signals of plasma formation, but also indication of persisting “mesonic” (metastable) states and different temporal and spatial “masses” in the mesonic channels. Thi...

Abstract With sufficiently light up and down quarks the isovector (a0) and isosinglet (f0) scalar meson propagators are dominated at large distance by two-meson states. In the staggered fermion formulation of lattice quantum chromodynamics, taste-symmetry breaking causes a proliferation of two-meson states that further complicates the analysis of these channels. Many of them are unphysical arti...
متن کاملMatching Current Correlators in Lattice QCD to Chiral Perturbation Theory
Chiral perturbation theory gives direct and unambiguous predictions for the form of various two-point hadronic correlators at low momentum in terms of a finite set of couplings in a chiral Lagrangian. In this paper we study the feasibility of extracting the couplings in the chiral Lagrangian (through 1-loop order) by fitting two-point correlators computed in lattice QCD to the predicted chiral ...
