Hadron masses from dynamical, non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions
We present results on light hadron masses from simulations of full QCD and
report on experiences in running such simulations on a Hitachi SR8000-F1
supercomputer.Comment: Lattice 2000 (Spectrum), 4 pages, 6 eps figure
The spin structure of the Lambda hyperon in quenched lattice QCD
It has been suggested to use the production of Lambda hyperons for
investigating the nucleon spin structure. The viability of this idea depends
crucially on the spin structure of the Lambda. Using nonperturbatively O(a)
improved Wilson fermions in the quenched approximation we have studied matrix
elements of two-quark operators in the Lambda. We present results for the axial
vector current, which give us the contributions of the u, d, and s quarks to
the Lambda spin.Comment: Lattice2001(matrixelement), 3 pages, 2 figure
Low-lying fermion modes of Nf=2 improved Wilson fermions
We present preliminary results for the topological charge and susceptibility
determined from the low-lying eigenmodes of the Wilson-Dirac operator. These
modes have been computed on dynamical configurations with Nf=2
non-perturbatively improved Wilson fermions. We compare our results with the
eigenmodes of fermions in the quenched approximation.Comment: Lattice2001(confinement), 3 pages, 5 Figure
Excited nucleon spectrum using a non-perturbatively improved clover fermion action
We discuss the extraction of negative-parity baryon masses from lattice QCD
calculations. The mass of the lowest-lying negative-parity state
is computed in quenched lattice QCD using an -improved clover
fermion action, and a splitting found with the nucleon mass. The calculation is
performed on two lattice volumes, and three lattice spacings enabling a study
of both finite-volume and finite-lattice-spacing uncertainties. A measurement
of the first excited radial excitation of the nucleon finds a mass considerably
larger than that of the negative-parity ground state, in accord with other
lattice determinations but in disagreement with experiment. Results are also
presented for the lightest negative-parity state.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, uses espcrc2. Talk presented at Workshop on
