Application of chiral quarks to high-energy processes and lattice QCD
نویسندگان
چکیده
Results of the chiral quark models for the soft matrix elements involving pions and photons, relevant for high-energy processes, are reviewed. We discuss quantities related to the generalized parton distributions of the pion: the parton distribution functions, the parton distribution amplitudes, and the generalized form factors. The model predictions are compared to the data or lattice simulations, with good agreement. The QCD evolution from the low quark model scale up to the experimental scales is a crucial ingredient of the approach.

Recent Progress of Lattice Qcd in China
Particle physics and gauge field theories are frontiers of fundamental sciences of matter. According to Yang and Mills, any basic theory of interacting matter should satisfy gauge invariance. QCD has been accepted to be the most successful gauge theory of strongly interacting particles. In QCD, hadronic matter is composed of quarks, and interactions between them are mediated by eight massless g...

We report on the scaling of basic hadronic observables in lattice QCD with N f = 2 maximally twisted Wilson dynamical quarks. We give preliminary results for some of the Gasser–Leutwyler low energy constants, the chiral condensate and the average mass of u and d quarks.

متن کاملPerturbative Thermodynamics of Lattice QCD with Chiral-Invariant Four-Fermion Interactions
Lattice QCD with additional chiral-invariant four-fermion interactions is studied at nonzero temperature. Staggered Kogut-Susskind quarks are used. The four-fermion interactions are implemented by introducing bosonic auxiliary fields. A mean field treatment of the auxiliary fields is used to calculate the model’s asymptotic scale parameter and perturbative thermodynamics, including the one-loop...

One of the most challenging issues in QCD is the investigation of spontaneous chiralsymmetry breaking, which is characterized by the non-vanishing chiral condensate when the bare fermion mass is zero. In standard methods, one has to perform expensive lattice simulations at multiple bare quark masses, and employ some modeled function to extrapolate the data to the chiral limit. This paper applie...
