Spectral Flow and Index Theorem for Staggered Fermions

E. Follana, V. Azcoiti, G. Di Carlo +1

We investigate numerically the spectral flow introduced by Adams for the staggered Dirac operator on realistic gauge configurations. We study both the unimproved and the HISQ Dirac…

The D to K and D to pi semileptonic decay form factors from Lattice QCD

The HPQCD Collaboration, Jonna Koponen, Christine T. H. Davies +5

We present a new and very high statistics study of D and D_s semileptonic decay form factors on the lattice. We work with MILC N_f=2+1 lattices and use the Highly Improved Staggere…

The Upsilon spectrum and the determination of the lattice spacing from lattice QCD including charm quarks in the sea

R. J. Dowdall, B. Colquhoun, J. O. Daldrop +8

We give results for the Upsilon spectrum from lattice QCD using an improved version of the NRQCD action for b quarks which includes radiative corrections to kinetic terms at O(v^4)…

High-Precision and HQET from Relativistic Lattice QCD

C. McNeile, C. T. H. Davies, E. Follana +2

We present a new determination of the leptonic decay constant from lattice QCD simulations that use gluon configurations from MILC and a highly improved discretization of the…

Staggered fermions, zero modes, and flavor-singlet mesons

Gordon C. Donald, Christine T. H. Davies, Eduardo Follana +1

We examine the taste structure of eigenvectors of the staggered-fermion Dirac operator. We derive a set of conditions on the eigenvectors of modes with small eigenvalues (near-zero…
