چکیده

We develop quenched chiral perturbation theory for vector mesons made of light quarks, in the limit where the vector meson masses are much larger than the pion mass. We use this theory to extract the leading nonanalytic dependence of the vector meson masses on the masses of the light quarks. By comparing with analogous quantities computed in ordinary chiral perturbation theory, we estimate the size of quenching effects, observing that in general they can be quite large. This estimate is relevant to lattice simulations, where the ρ mass is often used to set the lattice spacing. Typeset using REVTEX

Observing Chiral Nonanalytic Behavior with FLIC Fermions

First results from lattice QCD revealing the chiral nonanalytic behavior of nucleon and ∆ baryon magnetic moments are presented. Numerical simulations in the light quark mass regime employing the nonperturbatively O(a)-improved conserved vector current are enabled via FLIC fermions. Quenched chiral perturbation theory for the nucleon and ∆ magnetic moments is derived to next to next to leading ...

PQChPT with Staggered Sea and Valence Ginsparg-Wilson Quarks: Vector Meson Masses

We consider partially quenched, mixed chiral perturbation theory with staggered sea and Ginsparg-Wilson valence quarks in order to extract a chiral-continuum extrapolation expression for the vector meson mass up to order O(a2), at one-loop level. Based on general principles, we accomplish the task without explicitly constructing a sophisticated, heavy vector meson chiral Lagrangian. PACS number...

Quenched chiral perturbation theory for heavy-light mesons.

We formulate quenched chiral perturbation theory for heavy-light mesons coupled to pions, and calculate the one-loop chiral logarithmic corrections to fB, fBs , BB and BBs . We also calculate these corrections for “partially quenched” theories. In both theories, the chiral logarithms diverge in the chiral limit, indicating that (partially) quenched theories should not be used to study this limi...

Recent calculations in quenched QCD at light valence quark mass have been refined to sufficient accuracy to allow detailed comparison with the predictions of quenched chiral perturbation theory [1,2]. The identification of quenched chiral loop effects in lattice data serves several purposes. It allows one to perform sensible chiral extrapolations of quenched data and to extract the parameters o...

Meson correlators in a finite volume near the chiral limit

We report on the results of our calculation of meson correlators in a finite volume. The calculation is carried out in the quenched approximation near the chiral limit (down to mq = 2.6 MeV) using the overlap fermion. For these small quark masses, the scalar and pseudo-scalar correlators are well approximated with a few hundred eigenmodes. The results for both connected and disconnected correla...
