Heavy Quark Physics on the Lattice∗
نویسنده
چکیده
We illustrate the current status of heavy quark physics on the lattice. Special emphasis is paid to the question of systematic uncertainties and to the connection of lattice computations to continuum physics. Latest results are presented and discussed with respect to the progress in methods, statistical accuracy and reliability.

متن کاملNews from Lattice QCD on Heavy Quark Potentials and Spectral Functions of Heavy Quark States
We discuss recent lattice results on in-medium properties of hadrons and focus on thermal properties of heavy quark bound states. We will clarify the relation between heavy quark free energies and potentials used to analyze the melting of heavy quark bound states. Furthermore, we present calculations of meson spectral functions which indicate that the charmonium ground states, J/ψ and ηc, persi...
متن کاملLattice QCD and heavy quarks
Quarks are bound into hadrons by the interaction of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), some aspects of which cannot be treated by perturbation theory. As a result, non-perturbative methods have been developed, of which lattice gauge theory is at present the leading contender. The study of hadronic properties of heavyquark systems is valuable for at least two reasons. (1) By peeling away effects of t...
متن کاملStatus and Prospects for Lattice Calculations in Heavy Quark Physics
The current status of lattice calculation of weak matrix elements for heavy quark systems is reviewed. After an assessment of systematic errors in present simulations, results for the B meson decay constant, the B parameter BB and semi-leptonic heavy-to-light and heavy-to-heavy transitions are discussed. The final topic are lattice results for heavy baryon spectroscopy.
متن کاملFree energies of heavy quarks in full-QCD lattice simulations with Wilson-type quark action
The free energy between a static quark and an antiquark is studied by using the color-singlet Polyakov-line correlation at finite temperature in lattice QCD with 2+1 flavors of improved Wilson quarks. From the simulations on 323 × 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 lattices in the high temperature phase, based on the fixed scale approach, we find that, the heavy-quark free energies at short distance converge to t...
