Lattice quark masses: a non-perturbative measurement
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 , and 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
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
Non-perturbative renormalization of lattice operators in coordinate space
We present the first numerical implementation of a non-perturbative
renormalization method for lattice operators, based on the study of correlation
functions in coordinate space at short Euclidean distance. The method is
applied to compute the renormalization constants of bilinear quark operators
for the non-perturbative O(a)-improved Wilson action in the quenched
approximation. The matching with perturbative schemes, such as MS-bar, is
computed at the next-to-leading order in continuum perturbation theory. A
feasibility study of this technique with Neuberger fermions is also presented.Comment: 11 pages and 9 figures, LaTeX2
Quark masses and the chiral condensate with a non-perturbative renormalization procedure
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
Non perturbative renormalization in coordinate space
We present an exploratory study of a gauge-invariant non-perturbative
renormalization technique. The renormalization conditions are imposed on
correlation functions of composite operators in coordinate space on the
lattice. Numerical results for bilinears obtained with overlap and
O(a)-improved Wilson fermions are presented. The measurement of the quark
condensate is also discussed.Comment: Lattice2003(improve), 3 page
Electromagnetic and strong isospin-breaking corrections to the muon from Lattice QCD+QED
We present a lattice calculation of the leading-order electromagnetic and
strong isospin-breaking corrections to the hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP)
contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. We employ the gauge
configurations generated by the European Twisted Mass Collaboration (ETMC) with
dynamical quarks at three values of the lattice spacing ( fm) with pion masses between and
MeV. The results are obtained adopting the RM123 approach in the
quenched-QED approximation, which neglects the charges of the sea quarks. Quark
disconnected diagrams are not included. After the extrapolations to the
physical pion mass and to the continuum and infinite-volume limits the
contributions of the light, strange and charm quarks are respectively equal to
, and . At leading order in and we obtain , which is currently the most accurate determination of the
isospin-breaking corrections to .Comment: 23 pages, 7 figures, 5 tables. Version to appear in PRD. A bug in the
update of the strange and charm contributions is removed and an extended
discussion on the identification of the ground-state is included. arXiv admin

Le dérapage de la chirurgie bariatrique: lorsque la quantité risque de dépasser la qualité [The skid of bariatric surgery: when the amount of risk exceeds the quality].
Chirurgie bariatrique en 2013: principes, avantages et inconvénients des interventions a disposition [Bariatric surgery in 2013: principles, advantages and disadvantages of the available procedures].
For severe obesity (BMI > 35 kg/m2), bariatric surgery is not only the best, but often the only means of obtaining sufficient and durable weight loss. This article aims to review the available bariatric procedures. Gastric bypass remains the reference when it comes to the risk/benefit ratio. Gastric banding is declining rapidly due to the high prevalence of long-term complications. Primary malabsorptive procedures remain largely unpopular because of their potential nutritional complications. Sleeve gastrectomy, although it is not reversible as it includes a significant gastric resection, increases currently in popularity because of its apparent simplicity and the fact that early results regarding weight loss mimic those obtained with gastric bypass
Operator product expansion and quark condensate from Lattice QCD in coordinate space
We present a Lattice QCD determination of the chiral quark condensate based
on a new method. We extract the quark condensate from the operator product
expansion of the quark propagator at short euclidean distances, where it
represents the leading contribution in the chiral limit. From this study we
obtain ^ms(2 GeV)=-(265+-5+-22 MeV)^3$, in good agreement with
determinations of this quantity based on different approaches. The simulation
is performed by using the O(a)-improved Wilson action at beta=6.45 on a volume
32^3\times70 in the quenched approximation
