Low energy chiral constants from epsilon-regime simulations with improved Wilson fermions
Anna Hasenfratz, Roland Hoffmann, Stefan Schaefer
We present a lattice QCD calculation of the low energy constants of the leading order chiral Lagrangian. In these simulations the epsilon regime is reached by using tree-level impr…
Reweighting towards the chiral limit
Anna Hasenfratz, Roland Hoffmann, Stefan Schaefer
We propose to perform fully dynamical simulations at small quark masses by reweighting in the quark mass. This approach avoids some of the technical difficulties associated with di…
More about QCD on compact spaces
Thomas DeGrand, Roland Hoffmann, Johannes Najjar
We present some results about spontaneous breaking of global symmetries for four-flavor, three color QCD on compact spaces with two short directions. When the two short directions…
Non-perturbative improvement of nHYP smeared Wilson fermions
Roland Hoffmann, Anna Hasenfratz, Stefan Schaefer
Using Schroedinger functional techniques, we determine the coefficient of the clover term necessary for non-perturbative O(a) improvement of hypercubic smeared Wilson fermions on a…
Localized eigenmodes of the overlap operator and their impact on the eigenvalue distribution
Anna Hasenfratz, Roland Hoffmann, Stefan Schaefer
In a system where chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken, the low energy eigenmodes of the continuum Dirac operator are extended. On the lattice, due to discretization effects, th…
Towards a non-perturbative computation of the RGI strange quark mass with two dynamical flavors
Michele Della Morte, Roland Hoffmann, Francesco Knechtli +4
The non-perturbative running of the quark mass in the Schroedinger functional scheme is computed over a large energy range (covering scales differing by two orders of magnitude). T…
