Electromagnetic Corrections in Staggered Chiral Perturbation Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
To reduce errors in light-quark mass determinations, it is now necessary to consider electromagnetic contributions to light-meson masses. Calculations using staggered quarks and quenched photons are currently underway. Suitably-extended chiral perturbation theory is necessary to extrapolate the lattice data to the physical limit. Here we give (preliminary) results for light-meson masses using staggered chiral perturbation theory including electromagnetism, and discuss the extent to which quenched-photon simulations can improve quark-mass calculations.

We discuss how to formulate a staggered chiral perturbation theory (S χ PT). This amounts to a generalization of the Lee-Sharpe Lagrangian to include more than one flavor (i.e., multiple staggered fields), which turns out to be nontrivial. One loop corrections to pion and kaon masses and decay constants are computed as examples in three cases: the quenched, partially quenched, and full (unquenc...

متن کاملStaggered Lattice Artifacts in 3-Flavor Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory
Motivated by simulation results for octet and decuplet baryon masses using 2+1 flavors of light staggered quarks, we are incorporating staggered lattice artifacts into heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory, calculating the masses of various staggered baryons, and studying the connection between the staggered baryons of the chiral theory and the staggered baryons of simulations. We present O(m...
