Lattice QCD data versus Chiral Perturbation Theory: the case of Mπ
نویسنده
چکیده
I present a selection of recent lattice data by major collaborations for the pseudo-Goldstone boson masses in full (Nf =2) QCD, where the valence quarks are chosen exactly degenerate with the sea quarks. At least the more chiral points should be consistent with Chiral Perturbation Theory for the latter to be useful in extrapolating to physical masses. Perspectives to reliably determine NLO Gasser-Leutwyler coefficients are discussed.

Non-perturbative Chiral Corrections for Lattice Qcd
We explore the chiral aspects of extrapolation of observables calculated within lattice QCD, using the nucleon magnetic moments as an example. Our analysis shows that the biggest effects of chiral dynamics occur for quark masses corresponding to a pion mass below 600 MeV. In this limited range chiral perturbation theory is not rapidly convergent, but we can develop some understanding of the beh...
متن کاملNucleon Magnetic Moments Beyond the Perturbative Chiral Regime
The quark mass dependence of nucleon magnetic moments is explored over a wide range. Quark masses currently accessible to lattice QCD, which lie beyond the regime of chiral perturbation theory (χPT), are accessed via the cloudy bag model (CBM). The latter reproduces the leading nonanalytic behavior of χPT, while modeling the internal structure of the hadron under investigation. We find that the...
متن کاملPower Counting Regime of Chiral Extrapolation and Beyond
Finite-range regularised chiral effective field theory is presented in the context of approximation schemes ubiquitous in modern lattice QCD calculations. Using FRR techniques, the powercounting regime (PCR) of chiral perturbation theory can be estimated. To fourth-order in the expansion at the 1% tolerance level, we find 0 ≤ mπ ≤ 180 MeV for the PCR, extending only a small distance beyond the ...
متن کاملExtrapolation of lattice QCD results beyond the power-counting regime
Resummation of the chiral expansion is necessary to make accurate contact with current lattice simulation results of full QCD. Resummation techniques including relativistic formulations of chiral effective field theory and finite-range regularization (FRR) techniques are reviewed, with an emphasis on using lattice simulation results to constrain the parameters of the chiral expansion. We illust...
متن کاملVector condensation in QCD
The properties of the QCD vacuum at quark chemical potentials on the order of the pion mass and at zero temperature are by now quite well understood. The insight into this non-perturbative regime of QCD is obtained using chiral perturbation theory at nonzero quark chemical potentials [1–8]. The results apply not only to ordinary QCD but also to two color QCD and to QCD with quarks in the adjoin...
