A quark action for very coarse lattices

M. Alford, Timothy Klassen, Peter Lepage

We investigate a tree-level O(a^3)-accurate action, D234c, on coarse lattices. For the improvement terms we use tadpole-improved coefficients, with the tadpole contribution measure…

Accurate Scale Determinations for the Wilson Gauge Action

R. G. Edwards, U. M. Heller, T. R. Klassen

Accurate determinations of the physical scale of a lattice action are required to check scaling and take the continuum limit. We present a high statistics study of the static poten…

Critical Behavior at the Chiral Phase Transition

C. Bernard, T. Blum, C. E. DeTar +8

Quantum chromodynamics with two zero mass flavors is expected to exhibit a phase transition with O(4) critical behavior. Fixing the universality class is important for phenomenolog…

The Gluon Propagator at High Temperature: Screening, Improvement and Non-Zero Momenta

U. M. Heller, F. Karsch, J. Rank

We study the gluon propagator and the singlet potential in Landau gauge in the deconfined phase of SU(2) lattice gauge theory, using both the standard Wilson action and a tree-leve…

Mean-link tadpole improvement of SW and D234 actions

Mark Alford, Timothy R. Klassen, Peter Lepage

We investigate a tadpole-improved tree-level-O(a^3)-accurate action, D234c, on coarse lattices, using the mean link in Landau gauge to measure the tadpole contribution. We find tha…
