Light hadron spectroscopy on coarse lattices with O„a... mean-field-improved actions

چکیده
The masses and dispersions of light hadrons are calculated in lattice QCD using an O(a) tadpole-improved gluon action and an O(a) tadpole-improved next-nearest-neighbor fermion action originally proposed by Hamber and Wu. Two lattices of constant volume with lattice spacings of approximately 0.40 fm and 0.24 fm are considered. The results reveal some scaling violations at the coarser lattice spacing on the order of 5%. At the finer lattice spacing, the nucleon to rho mass ratio reproduces state-of-the-art results using unimproved actions. Good dispersion and rotational invariance up to momenta of pa.1 are also found. The relative merit of alternative choices for improvement operators is assessed through close comparisons with other plaquettebased tadpole-improved actions. @S0556-2821~99!03807-2#

Towards Highly Improved Quark Actions
We describe two ideas useful in the construction of highly improved quark actions for simulations on coarse lattices: (i) Field transformations solve the doubler problem without destroying tree-level improvement for onor off-shell quantities. The simplest example is the Sheikholeslami-Wohlert (clover) action. Going to the next order of improvement yields the class of D234 actions. (ii) Anisotro...
متن کاملMean-link tadpole improvement of SW and D234 actions
We investigate a tadpole-improved tree-level-O(a)-accurate action, D234c, on coarse lattices, using the mean link in Landau gauge to measure the tadpole contribution. We find that D234c shows much better rotational invariance than Sheikholeslami-Wohlert, and that mean-link tadpole improvement gives much better hadron mass scaling than plaquette tadpole improvement, with finite-a errors at 0.25 ...

We investigate a new light fermion action (the " D234 " action), which is accurate up to O(a 3) and tadpole-improved O(aαs) errors. Using D234 with Symanzik-and tadpole-improved glue we find evidence that continuum results for the quenched hadron spectrum (pion, rho and nucleon) can be obtained on coarse lattices.
متن کاملQuenched Hadron Spectroscopy with Improved Actions
The improvement of the lattice QCD action has become recently a main focus of research in lattice field theory. Improved actions for lattice QCD are designed to remove lattice-spacing artifacts in numerical estimates of physical observables. This allows to conduct the numerical calculations on much coarser and smaller lattices and thereby to substantially reduce the simulation costs. In this co...
متن کاملImproved gluonic actions on anisotropic lattices
The use of novel perturbatively-improved gluonic actions on anisotropic lattices in which the temporal spacing is much smaller than that in the spatial directions is discussed. Such actions permit more efficient measurements of noisy correlation functions, such as glueball correlators, on coarse lattices. A derivation of these actions at tree-level is outlined; mean-field link renormalization p...
