Heavy baryon mass spectrum from lattice QCD with 2+1 flavors
We study the heavy baryon mass spectrum on gauge configurations that include 2+1 flavors of dynamical improved staggered quarks. A valence clover heavy quark is combined with two improved staggered light quark propagators to form baryons with different flavors. We are using MILC coarse gauge configurations with a lattice spacing of about 0.12 fm. In this preliminary investigation, we explore th...
متن کاملEvidence for pronounced quark loop effects in QCD
We have measured the hadron spectrum in lattice QCD, using staggered fermions, for 0 (the quenched approximation), 2 and 4 light degenerate dynamical quarks. In addition to earlier results involving extrapolations in valence quark masses for fixed dynamical mass, we also report results where we extrapolate in the dynamical mass for 4 flavors. We see a marked difference in the hadron spectrum fo...
متن کاملPhysical results from 2 + 1 flavor Domain Wall QCD RBC and UKQCD Collaborations
We review recent results for the chiral behavior of meson masses and decay constants and the determination of the light quark masses by the RBC and UKQCD collaborations. We find that one-loop SU(2) chiral perturbation theory represents the behavior of our lattice data better than one-loop SU(3) chiral perturbation theory in both the pion and kaon sectors. The simulations have been performed usi...

متن کاملFinite temperature transitions in lattice QCD with Wilson quarks: Chiral transitions and the influence of the strange quark.
The nature of finite temperature transitions in lattice QCD with Wilson quarks is studied near the chiral limit for the cases of 2, 3, and 6 flavors of degenerate quarks (N F = 2, 3, and 6) and also for the case of massless up and down quarks and a light strange quark (N F = 2+1). Our simulations mainly performed on lattices with the temporal direction extension N t = 4 indicate that the finite...
