Exploratory spectrum calculations using overlap valence quarks on a staggered sea
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present exploratory results for the hadron mass spectrum and pseudoscalar meson decay constants using mixed actions. We use improved staggered sea quarks and HYP-smeared overlap valence quarks. We obtain good signals on 10 configurations at one lattice spacing and two different sets of sea quark masses.

Lattice QCD with mixed actions
We discuss some of the implications of simulating QCD when the action used for the sea quarks is different from that used for the valence quarks. We present exploratory results for the hadron mass spectrum and pseudoscalar meson decay constants using improved staggered sea quarks and HYP-smeared overlap valence quarks. We propose a method for matching the valence quark mass to the sea quark mas...
متن کاملScaling behavior and sea quark dependence of pion spectrum with HYP-smeared staggered fermions
We study the pion spectrum (and in particular taste-symmetry breaking within it) using HYPsmeared valence staggered fermions on the coarse and fine MILC lattices (which have asqtad staggered sea quarks). We focus on the dependence on lattice spacing and sea-quark mass. We also update our results on source dependence. Our main conclusion is that on the MILC fine lattices the appropriate power-co...
متن کاملThe chiral condensate on two–flavor staggered configurations from an overlap operator
We measure the low lying eigenmodes of an overlap Dirac operator on 2–flavor staggered configurations. By comparing the eigenmode distribution to the predictions of Random Matrix Theory we test to what accuracy staggered configurations describe continuum QCD. The agreement between the numerical data and RMT implies that at our quark mass values the lattice artifacts of the staggered configurati...

متن کاملTechniques for Using the Overlap - Dirac Operator to Calculate Hadron Spectroscopy
The results of lattice QCD calculations of weak matrix elements are a critical component of the experimental program in heavy flavour and kaon physics. The results from lattice gauge theory calculations would significantly improve if the masses of both the sea and valence quarks could be reduced. Unfortunately progress in doing this is very slow with simulations that use either the Wilson or cl...
