Quark Masses from Lattice Qcd at the next - to - Leading Order
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the results of several quenched lattice simulations, we predict the value of the strange and charm quark masses in the continuum at the next-to-leading order, m M S s (µ = 2 GeV) = (128 ± 18) MeV and m M S ch (µ = 2 GeV) = (1.48± 0.28) GeV. The errors quoted above have been estimated by taking into account the original statistical error of the lattice results and the uncertainties coming from the matching of the lattice to the continuum theory. A detailed presentation of the relevant formulae at the next-to-leading order and a discussion of the main sources of errors is also presented.

PreciseMS light-quark masses from lattice QCD in the regularization invariant symmetric momentum-subtraction scheme
We compute the conversion factors needed to obtain theMS and renormalization-group-invariant (RGI) up, down, and strange quark masses at next-to-next-to-leading order from the corresponding parameters renormalized in the recently proposed RI/SMOM and RI=SMOM renormalization schemes. This is important for obtaining the MS masses with the best possible precision from numerical lattice QCD simulat...
متن کاملQCD with light Wilson quarks on fine lattices (I): first experiences and physics results
Recent conceptual, algorithmic and technical advances allow numerical simulations of lattice QCD with Wilson quarks to be performed at significantly smaller quark masses than was possible before. Here we report on simulations of two-flavour QCD at sea-quark masses from slightly above to approximately 1/4 of the strange-quark mass, on lattices with up to 64×32 points and spacings from 0.05 to 0....
متن کاملQuark mass dependence of masses and decay constants of the pseudo-Goldstone bosons in QCD
The dependence of the pseudoscalar meson masses and decay constants on sea and valence quark masses is compared to next-to-leading order (NLO) Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). The numerical simulations with two light dynamical quark flavors are performed with the Wilson-quark lattice action at gauge coupling β = 5.1 and hopping parameters κ = 0.176, 0.1765, 0.177 on a 16 lattice. O(a) lattice...
متن کاملChiral perturbation theory for twisted mass QCD
Quantum Chromodynamics on a lattice with Wilson fermions and a chirally twisted mass term for two degenerate quark flavours is considered in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. The pion masses and decay constants are calculated in next-to-leading order including terms linear in the lattice spacing a. We treat both unquenched and partially quenched QCD. We also discuss the phase structu...
متن کاملApplying chiral perturbation to twisted mass lattice QCD
We have explored twisted mass LQCD (tmLQCD) analytically using chiral perturbation theory, including discretization effects up to O(a), and working at next-to-leading (NLO) order in the chiral expansion. In particular we have studied the vacuum structure, and calculated the dependence of pion masses and decay constants on the quark mass, twisting angle and lattice spacing. We give explicit exam...
