Direct determination of strange and light quark condensates from full lattice QCD

C. T. H. Davies, C. McNeile, A. Bazavov +4

We determine the strange and light quark condensates in full lattice QCD for the first time. This is done by direct calculation of the expectation value of the trace of the quark p…

Direct determination of the strange and light quark condensates from full lattice QCD

C. McNeile, A. Bazavov, C. T. H. Davies +4

We determine the strange quark condensate from lattice QCD for the first time and compare its value to that of the light quark and chiral condensates. The results come from a direc…

Precise charm to strange mass ratio and light quark masses from full lattice QCD

C. T. H. Davies, C. McNeile, K. Y. Wong +6

By using a single formalism to handle charm, strange and light valence quarks in full lattice QCD for the first time, we are able to determine ratios of quark masses to 1%. For $m_…

Precision charm physics, m_c and alpha_s from lattice QCD

C. T. H. Davies, E. Gregory, I. Kendall +10

We present an update of results from the HPQCD collaboration on charm physics using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark action. This includes a precise determination of m_c using m…

Matching the Bare and MSbar Charm Quark Masses Using Weak Coupling Simulations

I. F. Allison, K. Y. Wong, C. T. H. Davies +8

We provide a new determination of the charm quark mass using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) action, finding m_c(3 GeV) = 0.983(23) GeV. Our determination makes extensiv…

Update: Accurate Determinations of alpha_s from Realistic Lattice QCD

C. T. H. Davies, K. Hornbostel, I. D. Kendall +4

We use lattice QCD simulations, with MILC configurations (including vacuum polarization from u, d, and s quarks), to update our previous determinations of the QCD coupling constant…
