String Breaking in Quenched QCD

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We present preliminary quenched results on a new operator for the investigation of string-breaking within SU(2)-colour QCD. The ground-state of a spatially-separated static-light meson-antimeson pair is a combination of a state with two distinct mesons, expected to dominate for large separations, and a state where the light-quarks have annihilated, which contributes for short distances. The crossover between these two regimes provides a measure of the string-breaking scale length.
