An update on QCD+QED simulations with C* boundary conditions

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2021-08-30 v1

Abstract

We present two novelties in our analysis of fully dynamical QCD+QED ensembles with C* boundary conditions. The first one is the explicit computation of the sign of the Pfaffian. We present an algorithm that provides a significant speedup compared to traditional methods. The second one is a reweighting of the mass in the context of the RHMC. We have tested the techniques on both pure QCD and QCD+QED ensembles with pions at mπ±400m_{\pi^\pm}\approx400 MeV, a lattice spacing of a0.05a\approx0.05 fm, a fine-structure constant of αR=0\alpha_{\mathrm{R}}=0 and 0.040.04.
