We investigate general properties of the eigenvalue spectrum for improved staggered quarks. We introduce a new chirality operator $[\gamma_5 \otimes 1]$ and a new shift operator $[1 \otimes \xi_5]$, which respect the same recursion relation…
The eigenvalue spectra of staggered fermions with an Adams and/or Hoelbling mass term are studied. The chiralities of the eigenmodes reflect whether the chirality linked to the unflavored approximate (\gamma_5 \times 1) or the flavored…
In this paper, we present the calculations for $H\rightarrow f\bar{f}\gamma$ in the $U(1)_{B-L}$ extension for Standard Model. Analytic results for one-loop form factors in the decay process are expressed in terms of the scalar one-loop…
We calculate the kaon B-parameter, B_K, to next-to-leading order in staggered chiral perturbation theory. We extend the usual power counting to include the effects of using perturbative (rather than non-perturbative) matching factors. Taste…
Results on the computational efficiency of 2-flavor staggered Wilson fermions compared to usual Wilson fermions in a quenched lattice QCD simulation on $16^3\times32$ lattice at $\beta=6$ are reported. We compare the cost of inverting the…
We compute lattice renormalisation constants of local bilinear quark operators for overlap fermions and improved gauge actions. Among the actions we consider are the Symanzik, L\"uscher-Weisz, Iwasaki and DBW2 gauge actions. The results are…

We calculate the corrections to the amputated Green's functions of 4-fermion operators, in 1-loop Lattice Perturbation theory. The novel aspect of our calculations is that they are carried out to second order in the lattice spacing, O(a^2).…
We analyze the low-energy dynamics of gap-between-jets cross sections at hadron colliders, for which phase factors in the hard amplitudes spoil collinear cancellations and lead to double (``super-leading'') logarithmic behavior. Based on a…
We simulate Quantum Chromodynamics in four Euclidean dimensions with two (degenerate mass) flavors of dynamical quarks. The Dirac operator is the so-called chirally improved operator that has been studied so far in quenched calculations. We…
HQET is an effective theory for QCD with N_f light quarks and a massive valence quark if the mass of the latter is much bigger than Lambda_QCD. As any effective theory, HQET is predictive only when a set of parameters has been determined…
