Relativistic Quarkonia from Anisotropic Lattices

We report on new results for the spectrum of quarkonia using a fully relativistic approach on anisotropic lattices with quark masses in the range from strange to bottom. A fine temporal discretisation also enables us to resolve excitations high above the ground state. In particular we studied the mass dependence and scaling of hybrid states.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures. Lattice 2000 (Heavy Quark Physics

A biophysical approach to large-scale protein-DNA binding data

About this book * Cutting-edge genome analysis methods from leading bioinformaticians An accurate description of current scientific developments in the field of bioinformatics and computational implementation is presented by research of the BioSapiens Network of Excellence. Bioinformatics is essential for annotating the structure and function of genes, proteins and the analysis of complete genomes and to molecular biology and biochemistry. Included is an overview of bioinformatics, the full spectrum of genome annotation approaches including; genome analysis and gene prediction, gene regulation analysis and expression, genome variation and QTL analysis, large scale protein annotation of function and structure, annotation and prediction of protein interactions, and the organization and annotation of molecular networks and biochemical pathways. Also covered is a technical framework to organize and represent genome data using the DAS technology and work in the annotation of two large genomic sets: HIV/HCV viral genomes and splicing alternatives potentially encoded in 1% of the human genome

Exotic Quarkonia from Anisotropic Lattices

We study in detail the spectrum of heavy quarkonia with different orbital angular momentum along with their radial and gluonic excitations. Using an anisotropic formulation of Lattice QCD we achieved an unprecedented control over statistical errors and were able to study systematic errors such as lattice spacing artefacts, finite volume effects and relativistic corrections. First results on the spin structure in heavy hybrids are also presented.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Anisotropic Lattices and Dynamical Fermions

We report results from full QCD calculations with two flavors of dynamical staggered fermions on anisotropic lattices. The physical anisotropy as determined from spatial and temporal masses, their corresponding dispersion relations, and spatial and temporal Wilson loops is studied as a function of the bare gauge anisotropy and the bare velocity of light appearing in the Dirac operator. The anisotropy dependence of staggered fermion flavor symmetry breaking is also examined. These results will then be applied to the study of 2-flavor QCD thermodynamics.Comment: Lattice2001(spectrum

Heavy Quarkonia from Anisotropic and Isotropic Lattices

We report on recent results for the spectrum of heavy quarkonia. Using coarse and anisotropic lattices we achieved an unprecedented control over statistical and systematic errors for higher excited states such as exotic hybrid states. In a parallel study on isotropic lattices we also investigate the effect of two dynamical flavours on the spin structure of charmonium and bottomonium for several symmetric lattices.Comment: LATTICE'99 (heavy quarks), 3 pages, 3 figure

Hybrid Quarkonia with High Statistics from NRQCD

We have studied the O(mv^6) effects in NRQCD on the spectrum of heavy quarkonia and compare our results for different lattices (quenched and dynamical). We also report on an investigation into hybrid states within the framework of NRQCD. This suggests that the lowest lying hybrid is around the B^* \bar B threshold and 3 standard deviations above the B \bar B.Comment: 3 pages, LaTeX2e, 4 figures, uses styles [espcrc2, epsf], talk presented at Lattice 9

NRQCD on an anisotropic lattice

We present preliminary results for the Upsilon spectrum on an anisotropic lattice using the improved O(mv^6) NRQCD Hamiltonian. We find accurate results can be obtained in moderate computer times and that they agree with earlier results on an isotropic lattice.Comment: 3 pages, LATEX2e, talk presented at LATTICE '98 by R.R.
