Model of mesons with constituent gluons
A model of mesons composed of a quark, an antiquark, and a gluon is proposed. The binding of the constituents is provided by a confining linear potential between the gluon and the quarks. The lowest states of the model are described, and their relative masses evaluated, for the case of heavy (charmed) quarks, i.e., ccg states
The Gluon Propagator at High Temperature
We study the gluon propagator in Landau gauge in the deconfined phase of
gauge theory. From the long-distance behaviour of correlation functions
of temporal and spatial components of the gauge fields we extract electric
() and magnetic () screening masses. For temperatures larger than
twice we find no additional temperature dependence in , while
drops with increasing temperature. The decrease is consistent with
the expected behaviour, . We find

Lattice Heavy Quark Effective Theory and the Isgur-Wise function
We compute the Isgur-Wise function using heavy quark effective theory
formulated on the lattice. The non-relativistic kinetic energy term of the
heavy quark is included to the action as well as terms remaining in the
infinite quark mass limit. The classical velocity of the heavy quark is
renormalized on the lattice and we determine the renormalized velocity
non-perturbatively using the energy-momentum dispersion relation. The slope
parameter of the Isgur-Wise function at zero recoil is obtained at
on a lattice for three values of .Comment: 14 pages of A4 format and 8 figures in one uuencoded postscript fil
B meson form factors from HQET simulations
We use simulations of heavy quark effective field theory to calculate the
Isgur-Wise function, and we demonstrate the feasibility of calculating the
matrix element for the B \to \pi + \leptons decay in the lattice heavy quark
effective theory (HQET).Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures, talk presented at the lattice 97 conferenc
Thermal Dileptons from a Nonperturbative Quark-Gluon Phase
Assuming that gluon condensates are important even above the deconfining
phase transition, we develop a model for the dilepton yield from a quark gluon
plasma. Using a simple fire ball description of a heavy ion collision, and
various estimates of the strengths of the gluon condensates, we compare our
predicted dilepton yields with those observed in the CERES and HELIOS
experiments at CERN. The simple model gives an adequate description of the
data, and in particular it explains the observed considerable enhancement of
the yield in the low mass region.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, reference adde
Gauge Boson Masses in the 3-d, SU(2) Gauge-Higgs Model
We study gauge boson propagators in the symmetric and symmetry broken phases
of the 3-d, gauge-Higgs model. Correlation functions for the gauge
fields are calculated in Landau gauge. They are found to decay exponentially at
large distances leading to a non-vanishing mass for the gauge bosons. We find
that the W-boson screening mass drops in the symmetry broken phase when
approaching the critical temperature. In the symmetric phase the screening mass
stays small and is independent of the scalar--gauge coupling (the hopping
parameter). Numerical results coincide with corresponding calculations
performed for the pure gauge theory. We find in this phase
which is consistent with analytic calculations based on gap equations. This is,
however, significantly smaller than masses extracted from gauge invariant
vector boson correlation functions. As internal consistency check we also have
calculated correlation functions for gauge invariant operators leading to
scalar and vector boson masses. Finite lattice size effects have been
systematically analyzed on lattices of size with and

A Study of Gluon Propagator on Coarse Lattice
We study gluon propagator in Landau gauge with lattice QCD, where we use an
improved lattice action. The calculation of gluon propagator is performed on
lattices with the lattice spacing from 0.40 fm to 0.24 fm and with the lattice
volume from to . We try to fit our results by two
different ways, in the first one we interpret the calculated gluon propagators
as a function of the continuum momentum, while in the second we interpret the
propagators as a function of the lattice momentum. In the both we use models
which are the same in continuum limit. A qualitative agreement between two
fittings is found.Comment: Revtex 14pages, 11 figure
