Effective Field Theories for Quantum Chromodynamics on the Lattice
Light and heavy-light (b) hadrons are among the most interesting and among the most challenging quantities to calculate in lattice gauge theory. One would like to avoid discretization effects from very heavy quarks and to calculate chiral extrapolations and calculate finite volume effects from light quarks. For this one uses effective theories: Chiral Perturbation Theory and Nonrelativistic QCD...
متن کاملPerturbative Matching of Heavy-Light Currents with NRQCD Heavy Quarks
Lattice studies of hadronic matrix elements require matching between operators in full continuum QCD and those in the lattice theory being simulated. In the present article we will focus on an effective lattice theory which combines nonrelativistic (NRQCD) heavy quarks and clover light quarks. We wish to match the theories correct through O( p M , α p M , α ap). For heavy meson (e.g. B and B∗) ...
متن کاملEffective Field Theories and Quantum Chromodynamics on the Lattice
We give a selection of results on spectrum and decay constants of light and heavy-light hadrons. Effective fields theories relevant for their lattice calculation, namely non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) for heavy quarks on the lattice and Chiral Perturbation Theory for light quarks, are briefly discussed.
متن کاملIntroduction to Effective Field Theories * 1. Heisenberg–euler Effective Theory, Decoupling of Heavy Flavours
This is the first part of lectures about effective field theories. Decoupling of heavy-particle loops is considered (heavy leptons in QED, heavy quarks in QCD).
متن کاملEffective Theory for Heavy Quarkonia Decays
An effective theory approach to heavy quarkonia decays based on the 1/mQ expansion is introduced. Its application to decays in which the two heavy quarks annihilate is discussed.
متن کاملHeavy quark fragmentation functions in the heavy quark effective theory.
We calculate fragmentation functions for a b-quark to fragment into color-singlet P-wave bound states c̄b in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory with the exact account of O(1/mb) corrections. We demonstrate an agreement of the obtained results with the corresponding calculations carried out in quantum chromodynamics. Introduction. The study of heavy quarkonia properties is a subject of much current...
