Current Physics Results from Staggered Chiral Perturbation Theory
arXiv:hep-lat/0612013 · doi:10.1142/S0217732306022468
Abstract
We review several results that have been obtained using lattice QCD with the staggered quark formulation. Our focus is on the quantities that have been calculated numerically with low statistical errors and have been extrapolated to the physical quark mass limit and continuum limit using staggered chiral perturbation theory. We limit our discussion to a brief introduction to staggered quarks, and applications of staggered chiral perturbation theory to the pion mass, decay constant, and heavy-light meson decay constants.
