Masses of the Light Quarks

چکیده
The magnitude of m u , m d and m s is discussed on the basis of Chiral Perturbation Theory. In particular, the claim that m u = 0 leads to a coherent picture for the low energy structure of QCD is examined in detail. It is pointed out that this picture leads to violent flavour asymmetries in the matrix elements of the scalar and pseudoscalar operators, which are in conflict with the hypothesis that the light quark masses may be treated as perturbations.

The spectrum of static-light baryons in twisted mass lattice QCD
We compute the static-light baryon spectrum with N f = 2 flavors of sea quarks using Wilson twisted mass lattice QCD. As light valence quarks we consider quarks, which have the same mass as the sea quarks with corresponding pion masses in the range 340MeV∼mPS ∼525MeV, as well as partially quenched quarks, which have the mass of the physical s quark. We extract masses of states with isospin I = ...
متن کاملThe Mass Spectrum of Light and Heavy Hadrons from Improved Lattice Actions
We use improved lattice actions for glue, light quarks and heavy quarks for which we use lattice NRQCD to compute hadron masses. Our results are in good agreement with experiment, except for charmed hadrons. It seems that charmed quarks are not well approximated as heavy quarks nor as light quarks.
متن کاملPartially Quenched Qcd with Non-degenerate Dynamical Quarks * Lattice Simulations
We discuss the importance of using partially quenched theories with three degenerate quarks for extrapolating to QCD, and present some relevant results from chiral perturbation theory. Simulations of lattice QCD have, to date, largely used the quenched (Q), or partially quenched (PQ), approximations. These approximations introduce unphysical artifacts, some of which can be analyzed using chiral...

متن کاملLight and Strange Quark Masses with Dynamical Wilson Fermions
We determine the masses of the light and the strange quarks in the MS-scheme using our high-statistics lattice simulation of QCD with dynamical Wilson fermions. For each of our three sea quarks we have analyzed our data at five different values of the valence quark mass, enabling us to parameterize our fit results in the (m, m) plane. For the light quark mass we find m MS (2GeV) = 2.7(2)MeV, wh...
متن کاملMILC Gauge Configurations
The greatest challenge to performing accurate numerical calculations of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the inclusion of the full effects of sea quarks, quarks that are created and destroyed during the course of a process, rather than being part of the initial and final states. The simulations we have carried out over the last several years are the first to fully take into account the effects o...
