A scaling study of the step scaling function of quenched QCD with improved gauge actions ∗

چکیده
We study the scaling behavior of the step scaling function for SU(3) gauge theory, employing the Iwasaki gauge action and the Luescher-Weisz gauge action. In particular, we test the choice of boundary counter terms and apply a perturbative procedure for removal of lattice artifacts for the simulation results in the extrapolation procedure. We confirm the universality of the step scaling functions at both weak and strong coupling regions. We also measure the low energy scale ratio with the Iwasaki action, and confirm its universality.

Universality of the Nf = 2 Running Coupling in the Schödinger Functional Scheme
We investigate universality of the N f = 2 running coupling in the Schödinger functional scheme, by calculating the step scaling function in lattice QCD with the renormalization group (RG) improved gauge action at both weak(u= 0.9796) and strong(u= 3.3340) couplings, where u= ḡ SF with ḡSF being the running coupling in this scheme. In our main calculations, we use the treelevel value for O(a) i...

متن کاملGluons, Quarks, and the Transition from Nonperturbative to Perturbative Qcd
Lattice-based investigations of two fundamental QCD quantities are described, namely the gluon and quark propagators in Landau gauge. We have studied the Landau gauge gluon propagator using a variety of lattices with spacings from a = 0.17 to 0.41 fm to explore finite volume and discretization effects. We also introduce the general method of “tree-level correction” to minimize the effect of lat...
متن کاملA perturbative determination of O(a) boundary improvement coefficients for the Schrödinger Functional coupling at 1-loop with improved gauge actions
We perturbatively determine O(a) boundary improvement coefficients at 1-loop for the Schrödinger Functional coupling with improved gauge actions. These coefficients are required to implement the 1-loop O(a) improvement in full QCD simulations for the coupling with the improved gauge actions. To this order, lattice artifacts of the step scaling function (SSF) for each improved gauge action are a...
متن کاملCharmonium spectrum from quenched QCD on anisotropic lattices
We present our final results of the charmonium spectrum in quenched QCD on anisotropic lattices. Simulations are made with the plaquette gauge action and a tadpole improved clover quark action employing ξ = as/at = 3. We calculate the spectrum of Sand P-states and their excitation, and study the scaling behavior of mass splittings. Comparison is made with the experiment and previous lattice res...
