Lattice Investigations of the Running Coupling
نویسنده
چکیده
A review of investigations of running couplings using lattice techniques is given. This includes i) studies of the running of particular non-perturbatively deened renormalized couplings in pure gauge theories over a range of energies, and ii) how estimates of MS (mZ) in lattice QCD are presently obtained.

How to Accurately Extract the Running Coupling of QCD from Lattice Potential Data
By (a) using an expression for the lattice potential of QCD in terms of a continuum running coupling and (b) globally parameterizing this coupling to interpolate between 2(or higher-) loop QCD in the UV and the flux tube prediction in the IR, we can perfectly fit lattice data for the potential down to one lattice spacing and at the same time extract the running coupling to high precision. This ...
متن کاملInfrared features of unquenched Lattice Landau Gauge QCD
The running coupling and the Kugo-Ojima parameter of unquenched lattice Landau gauge are simulated and compared with the continuum theory. Although the running coupling measured by the ghost and gluon dressing function is infrared suppressed, the running coupling has the maximum of α0 ∼ 2−2.5 at around q = 0.5GeV irrespective of the fermion actions (Wilson fermions and Kogut-Susskind(KS) fermio...

متن کاملRunning Coupling in Pure Gauge Theories Using the Schr¨odinger Functional
Schrödinger functional, the propagation kernel for going from some field configuration at time x 0 = 0 to some other configuration at x 0 = T , is used to define a running coupling, ¯ g 2 (L), at a length scale, L, in pure gauge theories. Using a lattice formulation and finite size scaling techniques, this running coupling is calculated non-perturbatively in the continuum for a wide range of L,...
متن کاملThe Running Coupling from SU ( 3 ) Lattice Gauge Theory
From an accurate determination of the inter-quark potential, one can study the running coupling constant for a range of R-values and hence estimate the scale Λ MS. Detailed results are presented for SU (3) pure gauge theory.
