Staggered Lattice Artifacts in 3-Flavor Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
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 q ) loop contributions to the masses of several staggered nucleons and discuss interpolating fields that create these states.

Chiral extrapolations of baryon masses for unquenched three-flavor lattice simulations∗
We have analyzed the chiral expansion of the baryon masses to second order in the quark masses, including strong isospin violation. The calculations are performed in Lorentz-invariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. Chiral extrapolation functions for three-flavor unquenched lattice simulations are derived. The matching to the two-flavor case and the sigma terms are also considered.

Abstract We calculate electromagnetic properties of the decuplet baryons in quenched and partially quenched chiral perturbation theory. We work at next-to-leading order in the chiral expansion, leading order in the heavy baryon expansion, and obtain expressions for the magnetic moments, charge radii, and electric quadrupole moments. The quenched calculation is shown to be pathological since onl...
متن کاملTopics in Effective Field Theory for Lattice QCD
Quantitatively understanding hadronic physics from first principles requires numerical solutions to QCD, known as lattice QCD, which are necessarily performed with a finite spatial extent at finite lattice spacing. Current simulations employ quark masses that are heavier than those in nature, as lighter quarks are computationally too costly, the physical systems simulated are not significantly ...

I review the present status of three flavor baryon chiral perturbation theory in the heavy fermion formalism. It is argued that precise calculations have to include all terms quadratic in the quark masses. As examples, I consider the chiral expansion of the octet baryon masses, the baryon magnetic moments and kaon photoproduction off nucleons.
متن کاملNew lessons from the nucleon mass, lattice QCD and heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory
I will review heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory for the nucleon delta degrees of freedom and then examine the recent dynamical lattice calculations of the nucleon mass from the BMW, ETM, JLQCD, LHP, MILC, NPLQCD, PACS-CS, QCDSF/UKQCD and RBC/UKQCD Collaborations. Performing the chiral extrapolations of these results, one finds remarkable agreement with the physical nucleon mass, from each...
