Meson spectral functions with chirally symmetric lattice fermions
In order to enhance our understanding of spectral functions in lattice QCD
obtained with the help of the Maximum Entropy Method, we study meson spectral
functions for lattice fermions with chiral symmetry. In particular we analyse
lattice artefacts for standard overlap, overlap hypercube and domain wall
fermions in the free field limit. We also present first results for
pseudoscalar spectral functions in dynamical QCD with 2+1 flavours of domain
wall fermions, using data generated by the UKQCD and RBC collaborations on
QCDOC machines.Comment: 25 pages, two sentences added; to appear in JHE
Radial and orbital excitations of static-light mesons
We present results for the spectrum of static-light mesons from Nf=2 lattice
QCD. These results were obtained using all-to-all light quark propagators on an
anisotropic lattice, yielding an improved signal resolution when compared to
more conventional lattice techniques. With a light quark mass close to the
strange quark, we have measured the splittings between the ground-state S-wave
static-light meson and higher excitations. We attempt to identify the quantum
numbers of the excited states in the context of the reduced spatial symmetries
of the lattice.Comment: 14 pages, 10 figure
Longitudinal and transverse meson correlators in the deconfined phase from the lattice
It has long been known that QCD undergoes a deconfining phase transition at
high temperature. One of the consequent features of this new, quark-gluon phase
is that hadrons become unbounded. In this talk meson correlation functions at
non-zero momentum are studied in the deconfined phase using the Maximum Entropy
Method.Comment: 6 pages. Prepared for Achievements and New Directions in Subatomic

Static-light mesons on a dynamical anisotropic lattice
We present results for the spectrum of static-light mesons from Nf=2 lattice
QCD. These results were obtained using all-to-all light quark propagators on an
anisotropic lattice, yielding an improved signal resolution when compared to
more conventional lattice techniques. In particular, we consider the inversion
of orbitally-excited multiplets with respect to the `standard ordering', which
has been predicted by some quark models.Comment: 3 pages with 3 figures. Talk by JF at "Quarks and Nuclear Physics",

A perturbative determination of the parameters of an anisotropic quark action
The parameters of a 3+1 anisotropic quark action with Symanzik-improved glue
are determined at 1-loop in perturbation theory.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures. Talk presented at Lattice2004(improved),

A non-perturbative study of the action parameters for anisotropic-lattice quarks
A quark action designed for highly anisotropic lattice simulations is
discussed. The mass-dependence of the parameters in the action is studied and
the results are presented. Applications of this action in studies of heavy
quark quantities are described and results are presented from simulations at an
anisotropy of six, for a range of quark masses from strange to bottom.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figure
Static-light hadrons on a dynamical anisotropic lattice
We present preliminary results for the static-light meson and baryon spectra
for QCD. The study is performed on an anisotropic lattice and uses a
new all-to-all propagator method allowing us to determine particle masses to a
high precision.Comment: 6 pages, Contribution to Lattice2005, PoS styl
