Precision study of B^* B\pi coupling for the static heavy-light meson

We compute the B^*B\pi coupling \hat{g}_{\infty} for static heavy-light meson using all-to-all propagators. It is shown that low-mode averaging with 100 low-lying eigenmodes indeed improves the signal for the 2-point and 3-point functions for heavy-light meson significantly. Our study suggests that the all-to-all propagator will be a very efficient method for high precision computation of the B^*B\pi coupling especially in unquenched QCD where the number of configurations is limited.Comment: 30 pages, 25 figures, typos correcte

Perturbative Study of the Supersymmetric Lattice Theory from Matrix Model

We study the lattice model for the supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in two dimensions proposed by Cohen, Kaplan, Katz, and Unsal. We re-examine the formal proof for the absence of susy breaking counter terms as well as the stability of the vacuum by an explicit perturbative calculation for the case of U(2) gauge group. Introducing fermion masses and treating the bosonic zero momentum mode nonperturbatively, we avoid the infra-red divergences in the perturbative calculation. As a result, we find that there appear mass counter terms for finite volume which vanish in the infinite volume limit so that the theory needs no fine-tuning. We also find that the supersymmetry plays an important role in stabilizing the lattice space-time by the deconstruction.Comment: 36 pages, 18 figures; typos corrected, some definitions added, appendix including feynman dyagram delete

Dual-camera system for high-speed imaging in particle image velocimetry

Particle image velocimetry is an important technique in experimental fluid mechanics, for which it has been essential to use a specialized high-speed camera. However, the high speed is at the expense of other performances of the camera, i.e., sensitivity and image resolution. Here, we demonstrate that the high-speed imaging is also possible with a pair of still cameras.Comment: 4 pages, accepted by Journal of Visualization (see http://www.springerlink.com

Charmonium spectroscopy with heavy Kogut-Susskind quarks

Charmonium spectroscopy with Kogut-Susskind valence quarks are carried out for quenched QCD at $\beta=6.0$ and for two-flavor full QCD at $\beta=5.7$. Results for 1P--1S mass splitting and estimates of $\alpha^{(5)}_{\overline{MS}}(m_Z)$ are reported. Problems associated with flavor breaking effects and finite size effects of $1P$ states are discussed.Comment: 3 pages, contribution to the Lattice '94 conference, uuencoded compressed ps-fil
