Numerical study of O(a) improved Wilson quark action on anisotropic lattice

Abstract

The $O(a)$ improved Wilson quark action on the anisotropic lattice is investigated. We carry out numerical simulations in the quenched approximation at three values of lattice spacing ($a_{\sigma }^{-1}=1$--2 GeV) with the anisotropy $\xi =a_{\sigma }/a_{\tau }=4$, where $a_{\sigma }$ and $a_{\tau }$ are the spatial and the temporal lattice spacings, respectively. The bare anisotropy ${\gamma }_F$ in the quark field action is numerically tuned by the dispersion relation of mesons so that the renormalized fermionic anisotropy coincides with that of gauge field. This calibration of bare anisotropy is performed to the level of 1 % statistical accuracy in the quark mass region below the charm quark mass. The systematic uncertainty in the calibration is estimated by comparing the results from different types of dispersion relations, which results in 3 % on our coarsest lattice and tends to vanish in the continuum limit. In the chiral limit, there is an additional systematic uncertainty of 1 % from the chiral extrapolation. Taking the central value ${\gamma }_F={\gamma }_F^{\ast }$ from the result of the calibration, we compute the light hadron spectrum. Our hadron spectrum is consistent with the result by UKQCD Collaboration on the isotropic lattice. We also study the response of the hadron spectrum to the change of anisotropic parameter, ${\gamma }_F\to {\gamma }_F^{\ast }+\delta {\gamma }_F$. We find that the change of ${\gamma }_F$ by 2 % induces a change of 1 % in the spectrum for physical quark masses. Thus the systematic uncertainty on the anisotropic lattice, as well as the statistical one, is under control.
