Using the O(a) Symanzik improved action an estimate is given for the strange quark mass for unquenched (n_f=2) QCD. The determination is via the axial Ward identity (AWI) and includes a non-perturbative evaluation of the renormalisation…
In conjunction with recent numerical \hbox{$\lambda~\partial_0 A_0 + \nabla\cdot\vec{A} =0$} ``$\lambda$-gauge'' results reported in a companion paper, we construct an $N\to\infty$ Wilson loop picture of $\lambda$-gaugefixing in which…
Lattice QCD with $N_f=2$ flavours of sea quark is used to explore the spectrum and decay of scalar mesons. We are able to determine the $b_1$ - $a_0$ mass difference and this leads to the conclusion that the lightest non-singlet scalar…
The relation between the on-shell and $\bar{\rm MS}$ mass can be expressed through scalar and vector part of the quark propagator. In principle these two-point functions have to be evaluated on-shell which is a non-trivial task at…
We prove stability bounds for local gauge-invariant scalar QCD quantum models, with multiflavored bosons replacing (anti)quarks. We take a compact, connected gauge Lie group G, and concentrate on G=U(N),SU(N). Let d(N)=N^2,(N^2-1) be their…
We present results on the light hadron spectrum and quark mass in two-flavor QCD calculated with small sea quark masses down to $m_{PS}/m_{V}=0.35$. The configurations are generated using the RG improved gauge and tadpole-improved clover…
We estimate the lattice artifacts in loop correction perturbatively for domain-wall QCD with infinite number of extra flavors. We find that there appear no ${\cal O}(a)$ errors in renormalization factors of quark wave function, mass and…
Starting from the Schr\"odinger functional, we give a non-perturbative definition of the running coupling constant in QCD. The spatial boundary conditions for the quark fields are chosen such that the massless Dirac operator in the…
We report results on the static quark potential in two-flavor full QCD. The calculation is performed for three values of lattice spacing $a^{-1}\approx 0.9, 1.3$ and 2.5 GeV on $12^3{\times}24, 16^3{\times}32$ and $24^3{\times}48$ lattices…
We extend the epsilon-expansion of continuum chiral perturbation theory to nonzero lattice spacing in the framework of Wilson Chiral Perturbation Theory. We distinguish various regimes by defining the relative power counting of the quark…
In this proceeding, we discuss the finite-size scaling analysis of the order parameter related to the chiral phase transition in QCD with two massless quarks. We use data obtained in lattice QCD calculations performed with highly improved…
We calculate the light meson spectrum and the light quark masses by lattice QCD simulation, treating all light quarks dynamically and employing the Iwasaki gluon action and the nonperturbatively O(a)-improved Wilson quark action. The…
In a recent investigation of chiral behavior in quenched lattice QCD, the flavor-singlet pseudoscalar ``hairpin'' vertex associated with the eta prime mass was studied for pion masses ranging from approximately 275 to 675 MeV. Throughout…
I review the theoretical foundations, properties as well as the simulation results obtained so far of a variant of the Wilson lattice QCD formulation: Wilson twisted mass lattice QCD. Emphasis is put on the discretization errors and on the…
We investigate bottomonia splittings by solving a Schrodinger-Pauli-type equation with parametrisations of QCD potentials around those that have been determined previously in lattice simulations. This is done both, in the continuum and on…
The electroweak symmetry breaking and origin of masses may be attributed to the breakdown of chiral symmetry due to a strong gauge dynamics. Among several candidates of such gauge systems, we focus on two-color QCD with $N_f=6$ massless…
We present results for hadrons containing a strange quark in quenched lattice QCD. We calculate masses and decay constants using 60 gauge configurations with an O(a)-improved fermion action at beta = 6.2. Using the rho mass to set the…

We present a comprehensive analysis of the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon from a lattice simulation with two flavors of dynamical O(a)-improved Wilson fermions. A key feature of our calculation is that we make use of an…
