Excited hadrons from improved interpolating fields
نویسنده
چکیده
The calculation of quark propagators for Ginsparg-Wilson-type Dirac operators is costly and thus limited to a few different sources. We present a new approach for determining spatially optimized operators for lattice spectroscopy of excited hadrons. Jacobi smeared quark sources with different widths are combined to construct hadron operators with different spatial wave functions. We study the Roper state and excited ρ and π mesons.

Nucleon properties from unconventional interpolating fields.
Interpolating fields, used to excite hadrons from the QCD vacuum in nonperturbative field-theoretic investigations of hadron properties, are explored with an emphasis on unconventional nucleon interpolators. The QCD continuum model for excited state contributions to QCD correlation functions is a central element in extracting the physics contained in these alternate correlation functions. The a...
متن کاملBaryons from Lattice Qcd
In this synopsis, I report on non-perturbative studies of various aspects of baryon physics using lattice QCD. The first part of the thesis consists of spectroscopy of baryons with one or more charm quarks using two complementary non-perturbative approaches. The first approach enables us to extract highly excited states, which are very difficult to extract using the previously existing lattice ...
متن کاملImproved interpolating fields in the Schrödinger Functional
The general aim of this thesis is to probe several methods to extract lowenergy quantities (masses, decay constants, ...) more reliably in lattice gauge theory. We will investigate how to suppress contributions to correlation functions from the first excited meson state. We will show how to construct so-called improved meson interpolating fields, as they have only small contributions from the f...
متن کاملHeavy Quark Effective Theory, Interpolating Fields and Bethe-Salpeter Amplitudes1
We use the LSZ reduction theorem and interpolating fields, alongwith the heavy quark effective theory, to investigate the structure of the BetheSalpeter amplitude for heavy hadrons. We show how a simple form of this amplitude, used extensively in heavy hadron decay calculations, follows naturally upto O(1/M) from these field theoretic considerations.

متن کاملExcited baryons from the FLIC fermion action
Masses of positive and negative parity excited nucleons and hyperons are calculated in quenched lattice QCD using an O(a) improved gluon action and a fat-link clover fermion action in which only the irrelevant operators are constructed with fat links. The results are in agreement with earlier N∗ simulations with improved actions, and exhibit a clear mass splitting between the nucleon and its pa...
