Chiral extrapolations of baryon masses for unquenched three-flavor lattice simulations∗
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Discontinuous quark-mass dependence of baryon octet and decuplet masses
The present-day interpretation of QCD lattice simulations requires a profound understanding of the dependence of observable quantities on the light quark masses. A powerful tool to derive such dependencies is the chiral Lagrangian, an effective field theory based on the chiral properties of QCD. The application of strict chiral perturbation theory to the SU(3) flavor sector of QCD is plagued by...
متن کاملStaggered Lattice Artifacts in 3-Flavor Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory
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...

متن کاملProgress towards a lattice determination of ( moments of ) nucleon structure functions ∗
Using unimproved and non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions, results are given for the three lowest moments of unpolarised nucleon structure functions. Renormalisation, chiral extrapolation and the continuum limit of the matrix elements are briefly discussed. The simulations are performed for both quenched and two flavours of unquenched fermions. No obvious sign of deviation from line...
متن کاملQuenched Chiral Physics in Baryon Masses
Chiral symmetry has long been known to play an important role in the low energy properties of QCD. Theoretical studies of the non-perturbative features of QCD, expressed in terms of the fundamental theory, have proven to be most successful in the field of lattice gauge theory. Lattice studies are typically restricted to relatively large values of the u and d masses, where chiral effects are hig...
