Charm Quarks and the QCD Equation of State
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a study of the effect of charm quarks on the QCD equation of state using partiallyquenched p4 charm quarks on a dynamically generated 2+1 flavor background, at zero chemical potential. We show preliminary results for the charm quark contribution to the energy density and pressure in the high temperature region (Tc < T < 4Tc) and compare it to the free-field calculation. The charm quark mass is determined by measuring the charmonium spectrum.

Heavy Quark Production and Spectroscopy at HERA
Production of final states containing open charm (c) and beauty (b) quarks at HERA is reviewed. Photoproduction (PHP) of the charm meson resonances D∗, D and Ds, as well as D∗ production in the deep inelastic scattering (DIS) regime, are measured and compared to QCD predictions. The excited charm mesons D 1(2420), D ∗0 2 (2460) and D ± s1(2536) have been observed and the rates of charm quarks h...

After reviewing briefly the basic strategy of analyzing the RHIC data, recent lattice results of the non-pertubative/strong-coupling aspects of quark-gluon plasma probed primarily by the heavy quarks are presented. In particular, free energies of static quarks in various color channels, the Debye screening mass and the spatial string tension above the pseudo-critical temperature are discussed o...

We compute the mass of the charm quark using both quenched and dynamical lattice QCD calculations. We examine the effects of mass dependent lattice artifacts by comparing two different formalisms for the heavy quarks. We take the continuum limit of the charm mass in quenched QCD by extrapolating from three different lattice spacings. At a fixed lattice spacing, the mass of the charm quark is co...
متن کاملHeavy Quarks on the Lattice
I review the basic ideas behind lattice QCD calculations that involve charm and bottom quarks. I report on the progress in getting the correct hyperfine splitting in charmonium from lattice QCD. Some of the basic technology behind numerical lattice QCD calculations is explained by studying some specific examples: computation of the charm quark mass, and the calculation of fB .

Second order QCD corrections to the nonleptonic decay of the b quark in the slow charm limit Abstract The perturbative QCD corrections to the nonleptonic decay rate of the b quark are discussed. By considering the limit where the final charmed quarks are slow, it is argued that the coefficients of the α 2 s terms, corresponding to next-to-next-to-leading order in the standard renormalization gr...
