چکیده
We discuss the current status of our calculation of the physics of π and K mesons using three dynamical flavors of improved staggered quarks. This year, we have a new ensemble with a lattice spacing of 0.06 fm and a light sea mass of 0.2ms, as well as significant increases in statistics at several coarser lattice spacings and/or heavier sea masses. Results for decay constants, quark masses, low energy constants, condensates, and Vus are presented.

Results for light pseudoscalar mesons
We present the current status of the MILC collaboration’s calculations of the properties of the light pseudoscalar meson sector. We use asqtad staggered ensembles with 2+1 dynamical flavors down to a≈ 0.045 fm and light quark mass down to 0.05ms. Here we describe fits to the data using chiral forms from SU(3) chiral perturbation theory, including all staggered taste violations at NLO and the co...
متن کاملNon-Perturbative Study of the Light Pseudoscalar Masses in Chiral Dynamics
We perform a non-perturbative chiral study of the masses of the lightest pseudoscalar mesons. The pseudoscalar self-energies are calculated by the evaluation of the scalar self-energy loops with full S-wave meson-meson amplitudes taken from Unitary Chiral Perturbation Theory (UCHPT). These amplitudes, among other features, contain the lightest nonet of scalar resonances σ, f0(980), a0(980) and ...
متن کاملTaste breaking effects in scalar meson correlators
As a consistency check of the staggered-fermion fourth-root approximation, we analyze the a0 and f0 correlators, including the effects of two-meson taste-multiplet intermediate states. Rooted staggered chiral perturbation theory describes the contributions from the pseudoscalar taste multiplets in terms of only a few low energy constants, which have all been previously determined by the MILC co...
متن کاملProgress Calculating Decay Constants with NRQCD and AsqTad Actions
We combine a light AsqTad antiquark with a nonrelativistic heavy quark to compute the decay constants of heavy-light pseudoscalar mesons using the ensemble of 3-flavor gauge field configurations generated by the MILC collaboration. Preliminary results for fBs and fDs are given and status of the chiral extrapolation to fB is reported. We also touch upon results of the perturbative calculation wh...
متن کاملThe η ′ meson from lattice QCD
We study the flavour singlet pseudoscalar mesons from first principles using lattice QCD. With Nf = 2 flavours of light quark, this is the socalled η2 meson and we discuss the phenomenological status of this. Using maximally twisted-mass lattice QCD, we extract the mass of the η2 meson at two values of the lattice spacing for lighter quarks than previously discussed in the literature. We are ab...
