    Lattice quark masses: a non-perturbative measurement

    Get PDF
    We discuss the renormalization of different definitions of quark masses in the Wilson and the tree-level improved SW-Clover fermionic action. For the improved case we give the correct relationship between the quark mass and the hopping parameter. Using perturbative and non-perturbative renormalization constants, we extract quark masses in the \MSbar scheme from Lattice QCD in the quenched approximation at β=6.0\beta=6.0, β=6.2\beta=6.2 and β=6.4\beta=6.4 for both actions. We find: \bar{m}^{\MSbar}(2 GeV)=5.7 \pm 0.1 \pm 0.8 MeV, m_s^{\MSbar}(2GeV)= 130 \pm 2 \pm 18 MeV and m_c^{\MSbar}(2 GeV) = 1662\pm 30\pm 230 MeV.Comment: 21 pages, 4 figures, typos corrected, no result change

    NNLO Unquenched Calculation of the b Quark Mass

    Get PDF
    By combining the first unquenched lattice computation of the B-meson binding energy and the two-loop contribution to the lattice HQET residual mass, we determine the (\bar{{MS}}) (b)-quark mass, (\bar{m}_{b}(\bar{m}_{b})). The inclusion of the two-loop corrections is essential to extract (\bar{m}_{b}(\bar{m}_{b})) with a precision of ({\cal O}(\Lambda^{2}_{QCD}/m_{b})), which is the uncertainty due to the renormalon singularities in the perturbative series of the residual mass. Our best estimate is (\bar{m}_{b}(\bar{m}_{b}) = (4.26 \pm 0.09) {\rm GeV}), where we have combined the different errors in quadrature. A detailed discussion of the systematic errors contributing to the final number is presented. Our results have been obtained on a sample of (60) lattices of size (24^{3}\times 40) at (\beta =5.6), using the Wilson action for light quarks and the lattice HQET for the (b) quark, at two values of the sea quark masses. The quark propagators have been computed using the unquenched links generated by the T(\chi)L Collaboration.Comment: 19 pages, 1 figur

    Quark masses and the chiral condensate with a non-perturbative renormalization procedure

    Get PDF
    We determine the quark masses and the chiral condensate in the MSbar scheme at NNLO from Lattice QCD in the quenched approximation at beta=6.0, beta=6.2 and beta=6.4 using both the Wilson and the tree-level improved SW-Clover fermion action. We extract these quantities using the Vector and the Axial Ward Identities and non-perturbative values of the renormalization constants. We compare the results obtained with the two methods and we study the O(a) dependence of the quark masses for both actions.Comment: LATTICE98(spectrum), 3 pages, 1 figure, Edinburgh 98/1

    Light hadron spectroscopy on the lattice with the non-perturbatively improved Wilson action

    Get PDF
    We present results for the light meson masses and decay constants as obtained from calculations with the non-perturbatively improved (`Alpha') action and operators on a 24^3 \times 64 lattice at beta = 6.2, in the quenched approximation. The analysis was performed in a way consistent with O(a) improvement. We obtained: reasonable agreement with experiment for the hyperfine splitting; f_K=156(17) MeV, f_pi =139(22) MeV, f_K/f_pi = 1.13(4) ; f_{K*}=219(7) MeV, f_rho =199(15) MeV, f_phi =235(4) MeV; f_{K*}^{T}(2 GeV) = 178(10) MeV, f_rho^{T}(2 GeV) =165(11) MeV, where f_V^{T} is the coupling of the tensor current to the vector mesons; the chiral condensate ^\bar{MS} (2 GeV)= - (253 +/- 25 MeV)^3. Our results are compared to those obtained with the unimproved Wilson action. We also verified that the free-boson lattice dispersion relation describes our results very accurately for a large range of momenta.Comment: 29 pages (LaTeX), 14 Postscript figure

    Light Quenched Hadron Spectrum and Decay Constants on different Lattices

    Get PDF
    We present a study of O(2000){\cal O}(2000) (quenched) lattice configurations from the APE collaboration, for 6.0β6.46.0\le\beta\le 6.4 using both the Wilson and the SW-Clover fermion action. We determine the light hadronic spectrum and meson decay constants. We extract the inverse lattice spacing using data at the simulated values of the quark mass. We find an agreement with the experimental data of 5\sim 5% for mesonic masses and 10\sim 10%-15% for baryonic masses and pseudoscalar decay constants. A larger deviation is present for the vector decay constants.Comment: 3 pages, Talk presented at LATTICE96(spectrum

    Decay Constants of Heavy-Light Mesons

    Full text link
    The decay constants of the heavy-light pseudoscalar mesons are studied in a high statistics run using the Wilson action at β=6.0\beta=6.0 and β=6.2\beta=6.2, and the clover action at β=6.0\beta=6.0. The systematics of O(a)O(a) discretisation errors are discussed. Our best estimates of the decay constants are: fDf_D = 218(9) MeV, fD/fDsf_D/f_{Ds} = 1.11(1) and we obtain preliminary values for fBf_B.Comment: at the Dallas Lattice Conference, October 1993. 3 pages in a single postscript file, uuencoded form.

    The Pion Structure Function in a Constituent Model

    Get PDF
    Using the recent relatively precise experimental results on the pion structure function, obtained from Drell--Yan processes, we quantitatively test an old model where the structure function of any hadron is determined by that of its constituent quarks. In this model the pion structure function can be predicted from the known nucleon structure function. We find that the data support the model, at least as a good first approximation.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure

    RESULTS FOR THE B-MESON DECAY CONSTANT FROM THE APE COLLABORATION

    Get PDF
    The decay constant for the B-meson in the static limit is calculated using the Wilson and clover actions at various lattice spacings. We show that both the contamination of our results by excited states and the effects finite lattice spacing are at most the order of the statistical uncertainties. A comparison is made of our results and those obtained in other studies. Values for fBSstat/fBstatf^{stat}_{B_S}/f^{stat}_B and MBSMBM_{B_S} - M_B are also given.Comment: Contribution to Lattice'94, 3 pages PostScript, uuencoded compresse
