A Bayesian approach to chiral extrapolations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The determination of low-energy constants from data is an important component of most effective field theory programs, including that of chiral perturbation theory. We propose a novel method based on Bayesian probability theory which allows us to address several shortcomings of the standard approach to parameter extraction. Using a toy-model we argue that the Bayesian approach is ideally suited for the application in effective field theories. We also discuss the application to lattice QCD data.

We study the properties of the B → π and B → K transition form factors in partially quenched QCD by using the approach of partially quenched chiral perturbation theory combined with the static heavy quark limit. We show that the form factors change almost linearly when varying the value of the sea quark mass, whereas the dependence on the valence quark mass contains both the standard and chiral...

The title ‘Chiral extrapolations’ of this contribution refers more precisely to chiral extrapolations of lattice QCD data. We shall deal with low-energy aspects of QCD, which are not accessible to ordinary weak-coupling perturbation theory. Possible alternatives to weak-coupling perturbation theory in the low-energy domain of QCD include the investigation of specific models, Monte Carlo simulat...

متن کاملSpontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Fermion - Gauge Systems : A Non Standard Approach
We propose a new method for the study of the chiral properties of the ground state in QFT’s based on the computation of the probability distribution function of the chiral condensate. It can be applied directly in the chiral limit and therefore no mass extrapolations are needed. Furthermore this approach allows to write up equations relating the chiral condensate with quantities computable by s...

We present results on the light hadron spectrum and quark mass in two-flavor QCD calculated with small sea quark masses down to mP S /mV = 0.35. The configurations are generated using the RG improved gauge and tadpole-improved clover quark action at β = 1.8, where a −1 ≃ 1 GeV. Chiral extrapolations are made using not only polynomials and ChPT in the continuum but also formulae of Wilson chiral...
