چکیده
We study light-quark observables by means of dynamical lattice QCD simulations using twisted mass fermions at maximal twist. We employ chiral perturbation theory to describe our data for the pion mass and decay constant. In this way, we extract precise determinations for the low-energy constants of the effective theory as well as for the light-quark mass and the chiral condensate.

Dark matter Search and the Scalar Quark Contents of the Nucleon
We present lattice QCD simulation results from the European Twisted Mass Collaboration (ETMC) for the light, strange and charm quark contents of the nucleon. These quantities are important ingredients to estimate the cross-section for the detection of WIMPs as Dark Matter candidates. By employing a particular lattice QCD formulation, i.e. twisted mass fermions, accurate results of the light and...
متن کاملLattice QCD with two light Wilson quarks and maximally twisted mass
We summarise status and recent results of the European Twisted Mass collaboration (ETMC). The collaboration has been generating gauge configurations for three different values of the lattice spacing a . 0.1 fm and values of the charged pseudo scalar mass as low as 300 MeV with two flavours of maximally twisted mass quarks. We provide evidence that O(a) improvement works very well with maximally...
متن کاملCp Violation and the Light Quark Sector *
In view of the observed strong hierarchy of quark masses, we discuss a new description of flavor mixing which is particularly suited for models of quark mass matrices based on flavor symmetries. The necessary and sufficient conditions for CP violation are clarified. The emergence of CP violation is primarily linked to a large phase difference (near 90) in the light quark sector. The unitarity t...
متن کاملHeavy Quark – Light Diquark Approach to a Heavy Baryon in the Heavy Quark Symmetry Limit
. Abstract— The masses and distance configurations of the ground and excited states of heavy – charmed and bottom baryons J =1/2 ,3/2,containing a single heavy quark and a light diquark are studied within HQS limit of the HQLD sector of NRQCD framework. We find how the average distances between the heavy quark and the center of mass of the light diquark are smaller than the size of the light di...
متن کاملTest of the chiral structure and FCNC in the quark sector by radiative B meson decays
We study the effects of a vector-like SU(2) quark doublet as a fourth generation. In this model we examine the chiral structure and the FCNC in the quark sector by using radiative B meson decays in the allowed region for parameters fromRb = Γqq/Γhad.. We compute the ratioR = Br(b → d γ)/Br(b → s γ) in the model which realizes a different chiral structure as well as FCNC. The constraints has bee...
