f_B for Various Actions : Approaching the Continuum Limit with Dynamical Fermions

C. Bernard, S. Datta, C. DeTar +7

We present results for pseudoscalar decay constants of heavy-light mesons using both quenched and N_f = 2 dynamical fermion configurations. A variety of fermion actions is investig…

Zero Temperature String Breaking with Staggered Quarks

MILC Collaboration, C. Bernard, T. Burch +8

The separation of a heavy quark and antiquark pair leads to the formation of a tube of flux, or "string", which should break in the presence of light quark-antiquark pairs. This ex…

Quark Loop Effects with an Improved Staggered Action

MILC Collaboration, C. Bernard, T. Burch +7

We have been studying effects of dynamical quarks on various hadronic observables, using our recently formulated improvement for staggered fermions. To illustrate improvement, we s…

Exact Chiral Symmetry for Domain Wall Fermions with Finite L_s

Robert G. Edwards, Urs M. Heller

We show how the standard domain wall action can be simply modified to allow arbitrarily exact chiral symmetry at finite fifth dimensional extent . We note that the method can…

Eigenvalue Distributions of the QCD Dirac Operator

P. H. Damgaard, U. M. Heller, R. Niclasen +1

We compute by Monte Carlo methods the individual distributions of the th smallest Dirac operator eigenvalues in QCD, and compare them with recent analytical predictions. We do t…

Spectrum of the U(1) staggered Dirac operator in four dimensions

B. A. Berg, H. Markum, R. Pullirsch +1

We compare the low-lying spectrum of the staggered Dirac operator in the confining phase of compact U(1) gauge theory on the lattice to predictions of chiral random matrix theory.…

Low-lying Eigenvalues of the QCD Dirac Operator at Finite Temperature

P. H. Damgaard, U. M. Heller, R. Niclasen +1

We compute the low-lying spectrum of the staggered Dirac operator above and below the finite temperature phase transition in both quenched QCD and in dynamical four flavor QCD. In…

Calibration of Smearing and Cooling Algorithms in SU(3)-Color Gauge Theory

Frederic D. R. Bonnet, Patrick Fitzhenry, Derek B. Leinweber +2

The action and topological charge are used to determine the relative rates of standard cooling and smearing algorithms in pure SU(3)-color gauge theory. We consider representative…

General Algorithm For Improved Lattice Actions on Parallel Computing Architectures

F. D. R. Bonnet, Derek B. Leinweber, Anthony G. Williams

Quantum field theories underlie all of our understanding of the fundamental forces of nature. The are relatively few first principles approaches to the study of quantum field theor…
