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

Temporal meson correlators at finite temperature on quenched anisotropic lattice

We study charmonium correlators at finite temperature in quenched anisotropic lattice QCD. The smearing technique is applied to enhance the low energy part of the correlator. We use two analysis procedures: the maximum entropy method for extraction of the spectral function without assuming specific form, as an estimate of the shape of spectral function, and the $\chi^2$ fit assuming typical forms as quantitative evaluation of the parameters associated to the forms. We find that at $T\simeq 0.9T_c$ the ground state peak has almost the same mass as at T=0 and almost vanishing width. At $T\simeq 1.1T_c$, our result suggests that the correlator still has nontrivial peak structure at almost the same position as below $T_c$ with finite width.Comment: Lattice 2002 Nonzero temperature 3page

SU(3) lattice QCD study for octet and decuplet baryon spectra

The spectra of octet and decuplet baryons are studied using SU(3) lattice QCD at the quenched level. As an implementation to reduce the statistical fluctuation, we employ the anisotropic lattice with $O(a)$ improved quark action. In relation to $\Lambda(1405)$, we measure also the mass of the SU(3) flavor-singlet negative-parity baryon, which is described as a three quark state in the quenched lattice QCD, and its lowest mass is measured about 1.6 GeV. Since the experimentally observed negative-parity baryon $\Lambda(1405)$ is much lighter than 1.6 GeV, $\Lambda(1405)$ may include a large component of a $N \bar K$ bound state rather than the three quark state. The mass splitting between the octet and the decuplet baryons are also discussed in terms of the current quark mass.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, proceeding of "International Symposium on Hadron and Nuclei" at Yonsei Univ., Seoul, Korea 20-22 Feb. 200

Negative-Parity Baryons in Quenched Anisotropic Lattice QCD

We study negative-parity baryon spectra in quenched anisotropic lattice QCD. The negative-parity baryons are measured as the parity partner of the ground-state baryons. In addition to the flavor octet and decuplet baryons, we pay much attention to the flavor-singlet negative-parity baryon as a three-quark state and compare it with the Lambda(1405) baryon. Numerical results of the flavor octet and decuplet negative-parity baryon masses are close to experimental values of lowest-lying negative-parity baryons, while the flavor-singlet baryon is much heavier than Lambda(1405). This indicates that the Lambda(1405) would be a multi-quark state such as the N-Kbar molecule rather than the flavor-singlet 3 quark state.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figs.

Heavy-light meson in anisotropic lattice QCD

We examine whether the $O(a)$ improved quark action on anisotropic lattices can be used as a framework for the heavy quark, which enables precision computation of matrix elements of heavy-light mesons. To this end, it is crucial to verify that a mass independent and nonperturbative tuning of the parameters is possible. As a first step, we observe the dispersion relation of heavy-light mesons on a quenched lattice using the action which is nonperturbatively tuned only for the leading terms. On a lattice with the spatial cutoff $a_\sigma^{-1} \simeq$ 1.6 GeV and the anisotropy $\xi=4$, the relativity relation holds within 2% accuracy in the quark mass region $a_\sigma m_Q \leq 1.2$ with the bare anisotropy parameter tuned for the massless quark. We also apply the action to a calculation of heavy-light decay constants in the charm quark mass region.Comment: Lattice2002(heavyquark), 3 pages, 2 figure
