(Lattice) Propagators and Extraction of Spectral Densities

Abstract

In this proceeding, we explain a few steps for an alternative extraction of the spectral density of a two-point function (propagator) based on a discrete set of data points. We present a so-called Tikhonov regularization of this particular inverse problem. We test it on 2 cases: lattice 0++} glueball data and mock gluon data.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures.
