We determine masses and mixing parameters of the $\eta$ and $M_{\eta^\prime}$ meson in lattice QCD. The calculations are carried out on a set of 13 ETMC gauge ensembles with $N_f=2+1+1$ (maximally) twisted-mass Clover-improved quarks. These…
Determining the type of excitations that can exist in a thermal medium is key to understanding how hadronic matter behaves at extreme temperatures. In this work we study this question for pseudo-scalar mesons comprised of light-strange and…
We investigate the mass spectrum of Nucleon and Delta (and its counterparts with strange and charm), and their excited states, in quenched lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry. For each light baryon, we use 23 masses to determine the…
