The lattice technique of studying the strong interaction of matter is used to obtain predictions of the hadronic spectrum. These simulations were performed by the UKQCD collaboration using full (unquenched) QCD. Details of the results, a comparison with quenched data, and novel methods of extracting spectral properties are described.

. Abstract— The masses and distance configurations of the ground and excited states of heavy – charmed and bottom baryons J =1/2 ,3/2,containing a single heavy quark and a light diquark are studied within HQS limit of the HQLD sector of NRQCD framework. We find how the average distances between the heavy quark and the center of mass of the light diquark are smaller than the size of the light di...

We compute the electromagnetic form factor of the pion using non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions. The calculations are done for a wide range of pion masses and lattice spacings. We check for finite size effects by repeating some of the measurements on smaller lattices. The large number of lattice parameters we use allows us to extrapolate to the physical point. For the square of th...

We give an introduction to the problems faced on the way to a reliable lattice QCD computation of B-physics matrix elements. In particular various approaches for dealing with the large scale introduced by the heaviness of the b-quark are mentioned and promising recent achievements are described. We present perspectives for future developments.

After a brief introduction to lattice QCD, I summarize the results for the light quark masses and the bag parameters BK , B 1/2 6 , and B 3/2 8 . The implications of these results for the standard model estimates of CP violation parameters ǫ and ǫ/ǫ are also discussed.

We review the most recent results from experiments studying systems containing charmed quarks. The selection reflects the presenter’s bias, and there is an emphasis on decays of open charm. We discuss precision measurements of various sorts, various new states in the charmonium system, measurements aimed at testing Lattice QCD, and the latest searches for charm mixing. We conclude with a discus...

The spectrum of excitations of triply-charmed baryons is computed using lattice QCD including dynamical light quark fields. The spectrum obtained has baryonic states with well-defined total spin up to 7 2 and the low-lying states closely resemble the expectation from models with an SU(6)×O(3) symmetry. Energy splittings between extracted states, including those due to spin-orbit coupling in the...

Nucleon matrix elements of various four-quark operators are evaluated in quenched lattice QCD using Wilson fermions. Some of these operators give rise to twist-four contributions to nucleon structure functions. Furthermore, they bear valuable information about the diquark structure of the nucleon. Mixing with lower-dimensional operators is avoided by considering appropriate representations of t...

Results are presented on inclusive measurements of the spin structure function g 1 (x). The world's data on spin–dependent deep inelastic scattering are summarized. Results from recent Next–to–Leading Order (NLO) QCD analyses are given. They provide another successful test of QCD. The uncertainties arising from the low–x extrapolation of the inclusive data in absence of any measurement prevent ...
