Non-perturbative False Vacuum Decay Using Lattice Monte Carlo in Imaginary Time
Luchang Jin, Joshua Swaim
We present a new method for calculating quantum tunneling rates using lattice Monte Carlo simulations in imaginary time. This method is designed with the goal of studying false vac…
Using lattice chiral effective theory to study pi-pi scattering
Cameron Cianci, Luchang Jin, Joshua Swaim
We use lattice field theory to study the finite-volume energy spectrum of the system in chiral effective field theory (ChEFT) at leading order in the chiral expansio…
QED corrections to meson masses
Joshua Swaim
We present our progress on calculating leading-order QED corrections to meson masses and bare quark masses. As lattice QCD calculations become more precise, these QED corrections a…
Fourier Acceleration in a Linear Sigma Model with Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
Cameron Cianci, Luchang Jin, Joshua Swaim
Fourier acceleration is a technique used in Hybrid Monte Carlo simulations to decrease the autocorrelation between subsequent field configurations in the generated ensemble. It has…
