Flavour Breaking Effects of Wilson twisted mass fermions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the flavour breaking effects appearing in the Wilson twisted mass formulation of lattice QCD. In this quenched study, we focus on the mass splitting between the neutral and the charged pion, determining the neutral pion mass with a stochastic noise method to evaluate the disconnected contributions. We find that these disconnected contributions are significant. Using the Osterwalder-Seiler interpretation of the connected piece of the neutral pion correlator, we compute the corresponding neutral pion mass to study with more precision the scaling behaviour of the mass splitting.

O(a2) cutoff effects in Wilson fermion simulations
We show that the size of the O(a2) flavour violating cutoff artifacts that have been found to affect the value of the neutral pion mass in simulations with maximally twisted Wilson fermions is controlled by a continuum QCD quantity that is fairly large and is determined by the dynamical mechanism of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. One can argue that the neutral pion mass is the only physi...
متن کاملThe two flavour Schwinger model: scaling of the scalar condensate
We investigate the continuum limit scaling of the scalar condensate in the N f = 2 Schwinger model on the lattice. We employ maximally twisted mass Wilson fermions and overlap fermions. We compute the scalar condensate by taking the trace of the propagator (direct method) and by utilizing the integrated Ward-Takahashi identity. While the scalar condensate comes out consistent using these two me...
متن کاملFinite-temperature phase structure of QCD with twisted-mass Wilson fermions Ernst-Michael Ilgenfritz
We report progress in our exploration of the finite-temperature phase structure of two-flavour lattice QCD with twisted-mass Wilson fermions and a tree-level Symanzik-improved gauge action for a temporal lattice size Nτ = 8. Extending our investigations to a wider region of parameter space we gain a global view of the rich phase structure. We identify the finite temperature transition/crossover...
متن کاملChirally improving Wilson fermions 2. Four-quark operators
In this paper we discuss how the peculiar properties of twisted mass lattice QCD at maximal twist can be employed to set up a consistent computational scheme in which, despite the explicit breaking of chiral symmetry induced by the presence of the Wilson and mass terms in the action, it is possible to completely bypass the problem of wrong chirality and parity mixings in the computation of the ...
متن کاملLight quarks with twisted mass fermions
We investigate Wilson twisted mass fermions in the quenched approximation using different definitions of the critical bare quark mass mc to realize maximal twist and, correspondingly, automatic O(a) improvement for physical observables. A particular definition of mc is given by extrapolating the value of mc obtained from the PCAC relation at non-vanishing bare twisted quark mass μ to μ = 0. Emp...
