Domain wall QCD with physical quark masses
Abstract
We present results for several light hadronic quantities (, , , , , , ) obtained from simulations of 2+1 flavor domain wall lattice QCD with large physical volumes and nearly-physical pion masses at two lattice spacings. We perform a short, O(3)%, extrapolation in pion mass to the physical values by combining our new data in a simultaneous chiral/continuum `global fit' with a number of other ensembles with heavier pion masses. We use the physical values of , and to determine the two quark masses and the scale - all other quantities are outputs from our simulations. We obtain results with sub-percent statistical errors and negligible chiral and finite-volume systematics for these light hadronic quantities, including: = 130.2(9) MeV; = 155.5(8) MeV; the average up/down quark mass and strange quark mass in the scheme at 3 GeV, 2.997(49) and 81.64(1.17) MeV respectively; and the neutral kaon mixing parameter, , in the RGI scheme, 0.750(15) and the scheme at 3 GeV, 0.530(11).
