String-breaking in quenched QCD

چکیده

We present results on a new operator for the investigation of stringbreaking effects in quenched SU(2)-colour QCD. The ground-state of a spatially-separated static-light meson-antimeson pair is a combination of a state with two distinct mesons, expected to dominate for large separations, and a state where the light-quarks have annihilated, which contributes at short distances. The crossover between these two regimes provides the string-breaking scale.

Mem Analysis of Glueball Correlators at T > 0

It is believed that, in the neighborhood of the critical temperature Tc, the QCD vacuum begins to change its structure such as the reduction of the string tension, the partial restoration of spontaneous chiral-symmetry breaking and so on. Since the hadrons are composites of quarks and gluons, whose interactions depend on the properties of the QCD vacuum, some of the hadrons are expected to chan...

Matter degrees of freedom and string breaking in Abelian projected quenched SU ( 2 ) QCD

In the Abelian projection the Yang–Mills theory contains Abelian gauge fields (diagonal degrees of freedom) and the Abelian matter fields (off-diagonal degrees) described by a complicated action. The matter fields are essential for the breaking of the adjoint string. We obtain numerically the effective action of the Abelian gauge and the Abelian matter fields in quenched SU(2) QCD and show that...

String Breaking and Monopoles *

The string breaking is discussed in U (1) N−1 Abelian effective theories of QCD. When a screening is expected, the static potential shows a flattening in the long-range region and a linear behavior in the intermediate region. We show why the screening is better observed in the Polyakov-loop correlators than in the Wilson loops. The breaking of the adjoint string is explained without the Z(N) pi...

ON THE GLUEBALL SPECTRUM IN O ( a ) – IMPROVED LATTICE QCD

We calculate the light ‘glueball’ mass spectrum in Nf = 2 lattice QCD using a fermion action that is non–perturbatively O(a) improved. We work at lattice spacings a ∼ 0.1 fm and with quark masses that range down to about half the strange quark mass. We find the statistical errors to be moderate and under control on relatively small ensembles. We compare our mass spectrum to that of quenched QCD...

Ja n 19 94 Color Confinement , Quark Pair Creation and Dynamical Chiral - Symmetry Breaking in the Dual Ginzburg - Landau Theory

We study the color confinement, the q-¯ q pair creation and the dynamical chiral-symmetry breaking of nonperturbative QCD by using the dual Ginzburg-Landau theory, where QCD-monopole condensation plays an essential role on the nonper-turbative dynamics in the infrared region. As a result of the dual Meissner effect, the linear static quark potential, which characterizes the quark confinement, i...
