ALEPH Tau Spectral Functions and QCD
Hadronic τ decays provide a clean laboratory for the precise study of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Observables based on the spectral functions of hadronic τ decays can be related to QCD quark-level calculations to determine fundamental quantities like the strong coupling constant, quark and gluon condensates. Using the ALEPH spectral functions and branching ratios, complemented by some other a...
متن کاملNeural network parametrization of spectral functions from hadronic tau decays and determination of QCD vacuum condensates
The spectral function ρV −A(s) is determined from ALEPH and OPAL data on hadronic tau decays using a neural network parametrization trained to retain the full experimental information on errors, their correlations and chiral sum rules: the DMO sum rule, the first and second Weinberg sum rules and the electromagnetic mass splitting of the pion sum rule. Nonperturbative QCD vacuum condensates can...
متن کاملConfronting QCD with the experimental hadronic spectral functions from tau - decay 1
The (non-strange) vector and axial-vector spectral functions extracted from τ decay by the ALEPH collaboration are confronted with QCD in the framework of a Finite Energy QCD sum rule involving a polynomial kernel tuned to suppress the region beyond the kinematical end point where there is no longer data. Results show excellent agreement between data and perturbative QCD in a remarkably wide en...
متن کاملBulk viscosity and spectral functions in QCD
We examine the behavior of the spectral function for the T μ μ operator in QCD in the two regimes where it is possible to make analytical progress; weak coupling, and close to a second order QCD phase transition. We determine the behavior of the bulk viscosity in each regime. We discuss the problem of analytic continuation of the (lattice) Euclidean correlation function to determine the spectra...
متن کاملHadronic Spectral Functions in Lattice QCD
Among various dynamical quantities in quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the spectral functions (SPFs) of hadrons play a special role in physical observables (See e.g. [1,2]). A well-known example is the cross section of the e+e− annihilation into hadrons, which can be expressed by SPF in the vector channel. SPF at finite temperature (T ) and/or baryon density is also a key concept to understand the...
