Challenges of Lattice Calculation of Scalar Mesons
نویسنده
چکیده
I review a proposed pattern of the light scalar mesons with qq̄ mesons and glueball above 1 GeV and terraquark mesoniums below 1 GeV. Several challenges and caveats of calculating these light scalar mesons with dynamical fermions are discussed.

Insight into the Scalar Mesons from a Lattice Calculation
We study the possibility that the light scalar mesons are q̄q states rather than q̄q. We perform a lattice QCD calculation of pseudoscalar meson scattering amplitudes, ignoring quark loops and quark annihilation, and find indications that for sufficiently heavy quarks there is a stable four-quark bound state with J = 0 and non-exotic flavor quantum numbers.
متن کاملScalar Mesons as q̄2q2? Insight from the Lattice
I describe some insight obtained from a lattice calculation on the possibility that the light scalar mesons are q̄2q2 states rather than q̄q. First I review some general features of q̄2q2 states in QCD inspired quark models. Then I describe a lattice QCD calculation of pseudoscalar meson scattering amplitudes, ignoring quark loops and quark annihilation, which finds indications that for sufficient...
متن کاملScalar Mesons on the Lattice Using Stochastic Sources on GPU Architecture
We describe our studies of multi-pion correlation functions computed using stochastic propagators in quenched lattice QCD, harnessing GPUs for acceleration. We find that projecting onto momentum states for the pions becomes enormously expensive and has a poor scaling with the linear extent of the lattice. We will use Lüscher’s method and look for the σ in the π+π−→ π+π− channel. The result is t...
متن کاملGlueball matrix elements: a lattice calculation and applications
We compute the matrix elements of the energy-momentum tensor between glueball states and the vacuum in SU(3) lattice gauge theory and extrapolate them to the continuum. These matrix elements may play an important phenomenological role in identifying glue-rich mesons. Based on a relation derived long ago by the ITEP group for J/ψ radiative decays, the scalar matrix element leads to a branching r...
متن کاملScalar mesons on the Lattice
The simulations of the light scalar mesons on the lattice are presented at the introductory level. The methods for determining the scalar meson masses are described. The problems related to some of these methods are presented and their solutions discussed.
