چکیده

We determine the mass of the lightest q̄q scalar meson with I = 1 using the simulation with two dynamical Domain Wall Fermions. The conventional exponential fit of the scalar correlator is justified in this case giving the mass 1.58± 0.34 GeV. In general the scalar correlator receives also the bubble contribution, which is the intermediate state with two pseudoscalar mesons. This contribution is sizable at light quark masses and has to be incorporated in the fit of the scalar correlator in order to extract the scalar meson mass. We provide predictions for the bubble contribution in Partially Quenched ChPT, Staggered ChPT and ChPT for Mixed quark actions. We find that the bubble contribution is significantly affected by the unphysical approximations that are employed in simulations. It can render the negative sign and unphysical effective mass 2Mπ in the scalar correlator with I = 1.

Effects of staggered fermions and mixed actions on the scalar correlator

We provide the analytic predictions for the flavor non-singlet scalar correlator, which will enable determination of the scalar meson mass from the lattice scalar correlator. We consider simulations with 2+1 staggered sea quarks and staggered or chiral valence quarks. At small u/d masses the correlator is dominated by the bubble contribution, which is the intermediate state with two pseudoscala...

A High Statistics Study of Flavour - Singlet Mesons with Staggered Fermions

We present some early results from a high statistics study of the scalar and pseudoscalar singlet sectors of lattice QCD using 2 + 1 flavours of Asqtad improved staggered fermions. The use of the Asqtad action has allowed us to generate an unprecedented number of configurations at 2 lattice spacings which on completion we hope will give us a significantly improved view of both the scalar and ps...

Pion spectrum using improved staggered fermions

We present results for the pion multiplet spectrum calculated using both unimproved staggered fermions and improved HYP-smeared staggered fermions. In the case of unimproved staggered fermions, we observe (consistent with previous work) that O(a2) taste symmetry breaking effects are large and comparable to the ≈ O(p2) contributions to their masses. Higher order O(a2 p2) effects are also substan...
