Determination of constant lattice spacing trajectories in lattice QCD
We argue that lattice simulations of full QCD with varying quark mass are best conducted at fixed lattice spacing rather than at fixed β. We present techniques which enable this to be carried out effectively, namely the tuning in bare parameter space and efficient stochastic estimation of the fermion determinant. Results and tests of the method are presented. We discuss other applications of su...
متن کاملNon-perturbative determination of the axial current normalization constant in O(a) improved lattice QCD
A finite-size technique is employed to compute the normalization constant ZA of the isovector axial current in lattice QCD. The calculation is carried out in the quenched approximation for values of the bare gauge coupling g0 ranging from 0 to 1. In the lattice action and the lattice expression for the axial current we include the counterterms required for O(a) improvement, with non-perturbativ...
متن کاملNeutron Larmor Diffraction for the Determination of Absolute Lattice Spacing
The Neutron Larmor diffraction method is applied for the first time to determine absolute lattice spacing of a Silicon powder and polycrystalline IN718 samples. The absolute value of lattice spacing can be measured to an accuracy of 7· 10A. However, absolute determination of the lattice parameter is limited by the quality of the reference specimen used. Absolute lattice spacing determined by La...
متن کاملQcd Phases in Lattice Qcd
It is believed that QCD undergoes phase transitions as temperature T and the baryon density, controlled by a chemical potential μ, increase. For example, an expected phase structure is found in Fig.1 of ref. 1. To theoretically investigate what really happens at non-zero T and μ in QCD, lattice calculations seem ideal. Indeed, as reviewed in ref. 2, lattice QCD investigations are very successfu...
متن کاملLattice Simulations for the Running Coupling Constant of Qcd
The strong coupling constant αs(μ0), taken at a fixed reference scale μ0, is the single free parameter of QCD and should be known to the highest available precision. The value of αs should also be determined with good accuracy over as large a range of scales as possible, in order to reveal potential anomalous running in the strength of the strong interaction. Lattice QCD is now able to calculat...
