Chiral Symmetry Breaking and Cooling in Lattice QCD

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

Chiral symmetry breaking is calculated as a function of cooling in quenched lattice QCD. A non-zero signal is found for the chiral condensate beyond one hundred cooling steps, suggesting that there is chiral symmetry breaking associated with instantons. Quantitatively, the chiral condensate in cooled gauge field configurations is small compared to the value without cooling.
