Correlation Functions of Hadron Currents in the QCD Vacuum Calculated in Lattice QCD

Abstract

Point-to-point vacuum correlation functions for spatially separated hadron currents are calculated in quenched lattice QCD on a $16^3\times 24$ lattice with $6/g^2=5.7$. The lattice data are analyzed in terms of dispersion relations, which enable us to extract physical information from small distances where asymptotic freedom is apparent to large distances where the hadronic resonances dominate. In the pseudoscalar, vector, and axial vector channels where experimental data or phenomenological information are available, semi-quantitative agreement is obtained. In the nucleon and delta channels, where no experimental data exist, our lattice data complement experiments. Comparison with approximations based on sum rules and interacting instantons are made, and technical details of the lattice calculation are described.
