Abstract

We present the final analysis of the light and strange hadron spectra from a full QCD lattice simulation with two degenerate dynamical sea quark flavours at β=5.6\beta = 5.6 on a 163×3216^3 \times 32 lattice. Four sets of sea quark masses corresponding to the range .69mπ/mρ.83.69 \leq m_\pi/m_\rho \leq .83 are investigated. For reference we also ran a quenched simulation at βeff=6.0\beta_{\sf eff} = 6.0, which is the point of equal lattice spacing, aρ1a_{\rho}^{-1}. In the light sector, we find the chiral extrapolation to physical u- and d- masses to present a major source of uncertainty, comparable to the expected size of unquenching effects. From linear and quadratic fits we can estimate the errors on the hadron masses made from light quarks to be on a 15 % level prior to the continuum extrapolation. For the hadrons with strange valence quark content, the NF=2N_F = 2 approximation to QCD appears not to cure the well-known failure of quenched QCD to reproduce the physical KKK-K^* splitting.
