Improved lattice QCD with quarks: the 2 dimensional case
QCD in two dimensions is investigated using the improved fermionic lattice
Hamiltonian proposed by Luo, Chen, Xu, and Jiang. We show that the improved
theory leads to a significant reduction of the finite lattice spacing errors.
The quark condensate and the mass of lightest quark and anti-quark bound state
in the strong coupling phase (different from t'Hooft phase) are computed. We
find agreement between our results and the analytical ones in the continuum.Comment: LaTeX file (including text + 10 figures
Elementary Particles: What are they? Substances, elements and primary matter
The most successful "Standard Model" allows one to define the so-called
"Elementary Particles". Now from another point of view, philosophical, how can
we think of them? Which kind of a status can be attributed to Elementary
Particles and their associated quantised fields? Beyond the unprecedented
efficiency and reach of quantum field theories the current paper attempts at
understanding the nature of what we talk about, the enigmatic reality of the
quantum world
