Effects of non-perturbatively improved dynamical fermions in UKQCD simulations

چکیده
We present results for QCD with 2 degenerate flavours of quark using a non-perturbatively improved action on a lattice volume of 16 × 32 where the bare gauge coupling and bare dynamical quark mass have been chosen to maintain a fixed physical lattice spacing and volume (1.71 fm). By comparing measurements from these matched ensembles, including quenched ones, we find evidence of dynamical quark effects on the short distance static potential, the scalar glueball mass and the topological susceptibility. There is little evidence of effects on the light hadron spectrum over the range of quark masses studied (mπ/mρ ≥ 0.60).

Hadron masses from dynamical, non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions
With the installation of a 112 node Hitachi SR8000-F1 at the Leibniz-Rechenzentrum in Munich the QCDSF Collaboration has started simulating QCD with two degenerate flavors of fermions. In a cooperative program with the UKQCD Collaboration (see talk by Irving [1]) we share configurations giving both collaborations the possibility to do measurements at a larger set of bare parameters. This contri...

Light hadron spectroscopy with O(a) improved dynamical fermions. We present results for the hadron spectrum and static quark potential from a simulation with two flavours of O(a) improved dynamical Wilson fermions at β = 5.2. We address the issues of sea quark dependence of observables and finite-size effects. Quenching is the only non-systematically im-provable approximation in lattice QCD. Mo...
متن کاملA First Taste of Dynamical Fermions with an O(a) Improved Action
has been computed non-perturbatively, thus yielding full O(a) improvement, both in the quenched approximation [2], and with Nf = 2 dynamical fermions [3]. The UKQCD Collaboration intends to exploit the action (1) with two degenerate sea quarks for its Dynamical Fermions Project. The calculations have been carried out on a Cray T3E recently installed in Edinburgh. The version on which these resu...
متن کاملCost of dynamical quark simulations: O(a) improved Wilson fermions
Several collaborations have employed O(a) improved Wilson fermions, following the nonperturbative determination of the clover coefficient csw for Nf = 2 flavours in the range β ≥ 5.2 [1]. UKQCD, QCDSF and JLQCD perform simulations on physically large volumes (L ∼ 1.5 fm) using periodic boundary conditions [2–4], whereas ALPHA use Schrödinger functional (SF) boundary conditions on small volumes ...
متن کاملDynamical Simulations with Smeared Link Staggered Fermions
One of the most serious problems of the staggered fermion lattice action is flavor symmetry violation. Smeared link staggered fermions can improve flavor symmetry by an order of magnitude relative to the standard thin link action. Over the last few years different smearing transformations have been proposed, both with perturbatively and non-perturbatively determined coefficients. What hindered ...
