Scaling and chiral extrapolation of pion mass and decay constant with maximally twisted mass QCD
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an update of the results for pion mass and pion decay constant as obtained by the ETM collaboration in large scale simulations with maximally twisted mass fermions and two mass degenerate flavours of light quarks. We discuss the continuum, chiral and infinite volume extrapolation of these quantities as well as the extraction of low energy constants, and investigate possible systematic uncertainties.

The ππ scattering length from maximally twisted mass lattice QCD
We calculate the s-wave pion-pion scattering length in the isospin I = 2 channel in lattice QCD for pion masses ranging from 270 MeV to 485 MeV using two flavors of maximally twisted mass fermions at a lattice spacing of 0.086 fm. Additionally, we check for lattice artifacts with one calculation at a finer lattice spacing of 0.067 fm. We use chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order t...
متن کاملChiral perturbation theory for twisted mass QCD
Quantum Chromodynamics on a lattice with Wilson fermions and a chirally twisted mass term for two degenerate quark flavours is considered in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. The pion masses and decay constants are calculated in next-to-leading order including terms linear in the lattice spacing a. We treat both unquenched and partially quenched QCD. We also discuss the phase structu...
متن کاملApplying chiral perturbation to twisted mass lattice QCD
We have explored twisted mass LQCD (tmLQCD) analytically using chiral perturbation theory, including discretization effects up to O(a), and working at next-to-leading (NLO) order in the chiral expansion. In particular we have studied the vacuum structure, and calculated the dependence of pion masses and decay constants on the quark mass, twisting angle and lattice spacing. We give explicit exam...
متن کاملLattice QCD with two light Wilson quarks and maximally twisted mass
We summarise status and recent results of the European Twisted Mass collaboration (ETMC). The collaboration has been generating gauge configurations for three different values of the lattice spacing a . 0.1 fm and values of the charged pseudo scalar mass as low as 300 MeV with two flavours of maximally twisted mass quarks. We provide evidence that O(a) improvement works very well with maximally...
متن کاملExploring twisted mass Lattice QCD with the Clover term
It has been shown that in the twisted mass formulation of Lattice QCD at maximal twist large cutoff effects are generated when the quark mass becomes of O(aΛQCD). In general, these effects can be suppressed in two ways: either by choosing the critical quark mass in an “optimal way”, or by adding the Clover term to the twisted action. We investigate the second option by performing a quenched lat...
