High Energy Physics - Lattice
In most lattice field theories, correlators are plagued by a signal-to-noise problem of exponential difficulty in the time separation. We propose a method for improving the signal-to-noise ratio, in which control variates are systematically…
The critical behavior of the two-dimensional XY model has been explored in the literature using various methods. They include the high-temperature expansion (HTE) method, Monte Carlo (MC) approach, strong coupling expansion method, and…
We address the nonperturbative calculation of the inclusive decay rate of semileptonic $B_{(s)}$-meson decays from lattice QCD. Precise Standard-Model predictions are key ingredients in searches for new physics, and this type of computation…
For the first time, we present a lattice QCD determination of Mellin moments of unpolarized generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of the proton from an analysis of the quasi-GPD matrix elements within the short-distance factorization…
We extend our analysis of bound states in $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory by the consideration of baryonic operators, which are composed of three gluino fields. The corresponding states are similar to the baryons in QCD,…
We analyze scaling functions in the $3$-$d$, $Z(2)$, $O(2)$ and $O(4)$ universality classes and their finite size dependence using Monte Carlo simulations of improved $\phi^4$ models. Results for the scaling functions are fitted to the…
The leading jet transport coefficients $\hat{q}$ or $\hat{e}_{2}$ encode transverse or longitudinal momentum broadening of a hard parton traversing a hot medium. Understanding their temperature dependence is key to appreciating the observed…
Lattice QCD calculations of leptonic decay constants have now reached sub-percent precision so that isospin-breaking corrections, including QED effects, must be included to fully exploit this precision in determining fundamental quantities,…
The temperature dependence of the Landau gauge ghost propagator is investigated in pure SU(3) Yang-Mills theory with lattice QCD simulations. Its behavior around the confined-deconfined phase transition temperature, $T_c \sim 270$ MeV, is…
The structure of hadrons relevant for deep-inelastic scattering are completely characterised by the Compton amplitude. A direct calculation of the Compton amplitude in a lattice QCD setup provides a way to accessing the structure functions,…
We present a detailed study of the finite momentum dynamics of the $O(4)$ critical point of QCD, which lies in the dynamic universality class of Model G. The critical scaling of the model is analyzed in multiple dynamical channels. For…
Lattice QCD in the strong coupling regime can be formulated in dual variables which are integer-valued. It can be efficiently simulated for modest finite temperatures and finite densities via the worm algorithm, circumventing the finite…
Supersymmetry plays prominent roles in the study of quantum field theory and in many proposals for potential new physics beyond the standard model. Lattice field theory provides a non-perturbative regularization suitable for strongly…
The Polyakov loop expectation value $\langle P\rangle$ is an order parameter of the deconfinement transition in the heavy quark mass regime, whereas its sensitivity to the deconfinement of light, dynamical quarks is not apparent. From the…
We report on a preliminary study of static quark anti-quark potential at non-zero temperature in $2+1$ flavor QCD using $96^3\times N_{\tau}$ lattices with lattice spacing $a=0.028$fm, physical strange quark mass and light quark masses…
We present the key results from the first study of the $x$-dependent nucleon gluon distribution from lattice QCD extrapolated to the physical-continuum limit. We use ensembles with $2+1+1$ flavors of highly improved staggered quarks (HISQ)…
We present charmonium and bottomonium correlators and corresponding reconstructed spectral functions from full QCD calculations in the pseudoscalar channel. Correlators are obtained using a mixed-action approach, clover-improved Wilson…
Thermal photons from the QGP provide important information about the interaction among plasma constituents. The photon production rate from a thermally equilibrated system is proportional to the transverse spectral function…
We explore the interactions between a quark anti-quark pair in a thermal medium based on lattice QCD ensembles with $N_f = 2+1$ dynamical HISQ flavors. Our dataset spans the phenomenologically relevant temperature range between…
In a recently published work we employ gradient flow on the lattice to extract the leading contribution of the heavy quark momentum diffusion coefficient in the heavy quark limit from calculations of a well-known two-point function of…
