Spectrum of quenched twisted mass lattice QCD at maximal twist
arXiv:hep-lat/0503007 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.71.094505
Abstract
Hadron masses are computed from quenched twisted mass lattice QCD for a degenerate doublet of up and down quarks with the twist angle set to pi/2, since this maximally twisted theory is expected to be free of linear discretization errors. Two separate definitions of the twist angle are used, and the hadron masses for these two cases are compared. The flavor breaking, that can arise due to twisting, is discussed in the context of mass splittings within the Delta(1232) multiplet.
