The QCD equation of state with asqtad staggered fermions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on our result for the equation of state (EOS) with a Symanzik improved gauge action and the asqtad improved staggered fermion action at Nt = 4 and 6. In our dynamical simulations with 2+1 flavors we use the inexact R algorithm and here we estimate the finite step-size systematic error on the EOS. Finally we discuss the non-zero chemical potential extension of the EOS and give some preliminary results.

A High Statistics Study of Flavour - Singlet Mesons with Staggered Fermions
We present some early results from a high statistics study of the scalar and pseudoscalar singlet sectors of lattice QCD using 2 + 1 flavours of Asqtad improved staggered fermions. The use of the Asqtad action has allowed us to generate an unprecedented number of configurations at 2 lattice spacings which on completion we hope will give us a significantly improved view of both the scalar and ps...

متن کاملBK in unquenched QCD using improved staggered fermions
We present preliminary results for BK calculated using improved staggered fermions with a mixed action (HYP-smeared staggered valence quarks and AsqTad staggered sea quarks). We investigate the effect of non-degenerate quarks on BK and attempt to estimate the O(a2) effect due to nonGoldstone pions in loops. We fit the data to continuum partially quenched chiral perturbation theory. We find that...
متن کاملScalar glueball and meson spectroscopy in unquenched lattice QCD with improved staggered quarks
We present results of an exploratory study of singlet scalar states in unquenched QCD using both glueball and meson operators. Results for non-singlet non-strange scalar mesons are also presented. We use Asqtad improved staggered fermions and gauge configurations generated by the MILC collaboration at lattice spacings of .12 and .09 fm. In this formulation, the glueball mass is not significantl...
متن کاملNonperturbative 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 simulations of full QCD are described using the improved staggered quark forma...
