2+1 flavor simulations of QCD with improved staggered quarks
نویسنده
چکیده
The MILC collaboration has been performing realistic simulations of full QCD with 2+1 flavors of improved staggered quarks. Our simulations allow for controlled continuum and chiral extrapolations. I present results for the light pseudoscalar sector: masses and decay constants, quark masses and GasserLeutwyler low-energy constants. In addition I will present some results for heavy-light mesons, decay constants and semileptonic form factors, obtained in collaboration with the HPQCD and Fermilab lattice collaborations. Such calculations will help in the extraction of CKM matrix elements from experimental measurements. PACS. 12.38.Gc – 12.39.Fe – 12.15.Hh – 13.20.Fc

Full nonperturbative QCD simulations with 2 + 1 flavors of improved staggered quarks
Dramatic progress has been made over the last decade in the numerical study of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) through the use of improved formulations of QCD on the lattice (improved actions), the development of new algorithms and the rapid increase in computing power available to lattice gauge theorists. In this article we describe simulations of full QCD using the improved staggered quark forma...

متن کاملDependence of QCD hadron masses on the number of dynamical quarks
The effects of dynamical quarks in zero temperature simulations of QCD have generally been found to be quite small for ratios of physical quantities. In particular, quenched and two flavor dynamical simulations, for similar lattice spacings and volumes, have yielded similar results for the nucleon to rho mass ratio. Currently we can not probe the differences between zero and two flavor calculat...

Accurately calculating the mass of flavor-singlet meson states from numerical lattice simulations is an important milestone for lattice QCD. Careful measurement of the full pseudoscalar flavorsinglet propagator is also a crucial step in understanding the dynamics of the fermion sea on the lattice, in particular for potentially non-trivial formulations such as with 2+1-flavor staggered fermions....
متن کاملB - and D - meson decay constants from three - flavor lattice QCD
We calculate the leptonic decay constants of B(s) and D(s) mesons in lattice QCD using staggered light quarks and Fermilab bottom and charm quarks. We compute the heavy-light meson correlation functions on the MILC asqtad-improved staggered gauge configurations which include the effects of three light dynamical sea quarks. We simulate with several values of the light valenceand sea-quark masses...
