Charm mass effects in the static energy computed in 2+1+1 flavor lattice QCD

Johannes Heinrich Weber, Nora Brambilla, Rafael L. Delgado +5

We report our analysis for the static energy in (2+1+1)-flavor QCD over a wide range of lattice spacings and several quark masses. We obtain results for the static energy out to di…

Unitarized one-loop graviton-graviton scattering

Rafael L. Delgado, Antonio Dobado, Domènec Espriu

In this work we interpret the Einstein-Hilbert (EH) Lagrangian of gravitation as the first term of a low-energy effective theory similar to those considered in the chiral Lagrangia…

QuantumFDTD -- A computational framework for the relativistic Schrödinger equation

Rafael L. Delgado, Sebastian Steinbeißer, Michael Strickland +1

We extend the publicly available quantumfdtd code. It was originally intended for solving the time-independent three-dimensional Schrödinger equation via the finite-difference time…

Seeking for resonances in unitarized one-loop graviton-graviton scattering

Rafael L. Delgado, Antonio Dobado, Domènec Espriu

Some effective field theories exhibit dynamical resonances that, when properly included, mitigate their bad behaviour at high energies. Unitarization of the partial wave amplitudes…

Electroweak resonances in HEFT

Felipe J. Llanes-Estrada, Rafael L. Delgado y Antonio Dobado

Due to the gap between the known 100 GeV scale and new physics if any, it is natural to employ an effective one-loop Lagrangian (HEFT) for the particles of the Electroweak Symmetry…
