Scaling of Non-Perturbatively O(a) Improved Wilson Fermions: Hadron Spectrum, Quark Masses and Decay Constants
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compute the hadron mass spectrum, the quark masses and the meson decay constants in quenched lattice QCD with non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions. The calculations are done for two values of the coupling constant, β = 6.0 and 6.2, and the results are compared with the predictions of ordinary Wilson fermions. We find that the improved action reduces lattice artifacts as expected.

Hadron masses and decay constants in quenched QCD ∗
We present results for the mass spectrum and decay constants using non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions. Three values of β and 30 different quark masses are used to obtain the chiral and continuum limits. Special emphasis will be given to the question of taking the chiral limit and the existence of non-analytic behavior predicted by quenched chiral perturbation theory (qχP T).
متن کاملNew Results for Non-perturbative O(a) Improvement in Light Hadrons *
We have results from light hadron simulations in quenched QCD at β = 6.0 and 6.2 using non-perturbatively improved Sheikholeslami–Wohlert fermions in an effort to remove all O(a) effects. From looking at hadron masses and splittings and the RG-invariant quark masses (where we have one point at β = 5.7) we suggest this is plausible even with the limited data set. The interpretation of the decay ...

We present the results for hadronic spectrum, decay constants and the light quark masses obtained with non-perturbatively improved Wilson fermions. We also give our preliminary results for the heavy-light decay constants. The method for systematic improvement of the Wilson action and bilinear quark operators, recently proposed by Alpha–collaboration [1], provides a full cancellation of the line...

The full O(a)-improvement of the Wilson action and bilinear quark operators [ 1], was tested in spectroscopy and proved to be efficient, namely the hadronic masses and decay constants indeed converge faster to their continuum limit values. Improved operators, including the O(a)-free renormalization constants (RC’s), have been used to determine the values of the light quark masses. The next impo...
