Physical results from 2 + 1 flavor Domain Wall QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
We review recent results for the chiral behavior of meson masses and decay constants and the determination of the light quark masses by the RBC and UKQCD collaborations. We find that one-loop SU(2) chiral perturbation theory represents the behavior of our lattice data better than one-loop SU(3) chiral perturbation theory in both the pion and kaon sectors. The simulations have been performed using the Iwasaki gauge action at two different lattice spacings with the physical spatial volume held approximately fixed at (2.7fm)3. The Domain Wall fermion formulation was used for the 2+1 dynamical quark flavors: two (mass degenerate) light flavors with masses as light as roughly 1/5 the mass of the physical strange quark mass and one heavier quark flavor at approximately the value of the physical strange quark mass. On the ensembles generated with the coarser lattice spacing, we obtain for the physical average upand down-quark and strange quark masses mMS ud (2GeV) = 3.72(0.16)stat(0.33)ren(0.18)syst MeV and mMS s (2GeV) = 107.3(4.4)stat(9.7)ren(4.9)syst MeV, respectively, while we find for the pion and kaon decay constants fπ = 124.1(3.6)stat(6.9)syst MeV, fK = 149.6(3.6)stat(6.3)syst MeV. The analysis for the finer lattice spacing has not been fully completed yet, but we already present some first (preliminary) results.

Full QED+QCD low-energy constants through reweighting.
The effect of sea quark electromagnetic charge on meson masses is investigated, and first results for full QED+QCD low-energy constants are presented. The electromagnetic charge for sea quarks is incorporated in quenched QED+full QCD lattice simulations by a reweighting method. The reweighting factor, which connects quenched and unquenched QED, is estimated using a stochastic method on 2+1 flav...

We report on the first large-scale study of two flavor QCD with domain wall fermions (DWF). Simulation has been carried out at three dynamical quark mass values about 1/2, 3/4, and 1 mstrange on 16 3 × 32 volume with Ls = 12 and a −1 ≈ 1.7 GeV. After discussing the details of the simulation, we report on the light hadron spectrum and decay constants.

متن کاملN ∗ Spectrum in Lattice QCD †
We investigate the mass of the parity partner N(1/2) of the nucleon N(1/2), in lattice QCD using a new lattice discretization scheme for fermions, domain wall fermions (DWF). DWF possess exact chiral symmetry and flavor symmetry, both of which are required for this problem, even at finite lattice spacing. Our calculation reproduces the large mass splitting between those two states, in good agre...
متن کاملThe staggered domain wall fermion method
A different lattice fermion method is introduced. Staggered domain wall fermions are defined in 2n + 1 dimensions and describe 2 flavors of light lattice fermions with exact U(1)×U(1) chiral symmetry in 2n dimensions. As the size of the extra dimension becomes large, 2 chiral flavors with the same chiral charge are expected to be localized on each boundary and the full SU(2n)×SU(2n) flavor chir...
