Zero Temperature String Breaking with Staggered Quarks
MILC Collaboration, C. Bernard, T. Burch +8
The separation of a heavy quark and antiquark pair leads to the formation of a tube of flux, or "string", which should break in the presence of light quark-antiquark pairs. This ex…
Quark Loop Effects with an Improved Staggered Action
MILC Collaboration, C. Bernard, T. Burch +7
We have been studying effects of dynamical quarks on various hadronic observables, using our recently formulated improvement for staggered fermions. To illustrate improvement, we s…
The static quark potential in three flavor QCD
C. Bernard, T. Burch, K. Orginos +7
We study the effects of dynamical quarks on the static quark potential at distances shorter than those where string breaking is expected. Quenched calculations and calculations wit…
