Lattice QCD with 12 Quark Flavors: A Careful Scrutiny

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2017-08-23 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

With a substantial amount of simulations, we have explored the system across a wide range of lattice scales. We have located a lattice artifact, first order bulk transition, have studied its properties, and found that the flavor-singlet scalar meson mass vanishes at the critical endpoint. We will discuss the lattice phase diagrams and the continuum limits for both a spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking phase and an infrared conformal phase, and compare results with other groups.
