Nf=2 Lattice QCD and Chiral Perturbation Theory
arXiv:hep-lat/0511036 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2006.01.035
Abstract
By employing a twisted mass term, we compare recent results from lattice calculations of Nf=2 dynamical Wilson fermions with Wilson Chiral Perturbation Theory (WChPT). The final goal is to determine some combinations of Gasser-Leutwyler Low Energy Constants (LECs). A wide set of data with different lattice spacings (a ~ 0.2-0.12 fm), different gauge actions (Wilson plaquette, DBW2) and different quark masses (down to the lowest pion mass allowed by lattice artifacts and including negative quark masses) provide a strong check of the applicability of WChPT in this regime and the scaling behaviours in the continuum limit.
