QCD with eight flavors is studied on $16^3\times N_t$ lattices with $N_t=4$, 6, 8, 16 and 32, a dynamical quark mass $ma=0.015$ and lattice coupling $\beta=6/g^2$ between 4.5 and 5.0. For $N_t=16$ and 32, hadron masses and screening lengths…

We report on a scale determination with gradient-flow techniques on the $N_f=2+1+1$ highly improved staggered quark ensembles generated by the MILC Collaboration. The ensembles include four lattice spacings, ranging from approximately 0.15…
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…

Lattice QCD simulations are now reaching a precision where electromagnetic corrections from QED become important. In investigating the effects of SU(3) breaking due to quark mass differences within QCD, a group-theoretical analysis of the…
We investigate the charm quark system on 2+1 flavor PACS-CS configurations. Calculations are performed at the lattice spacing $a^{-1}=2.194(10)$ GeV and the spatial extent $L=2.9$ fm with O(a)-improved Wilson fermions for the light quarks…
Lattice QCD calculations in charm and bottom physics are particularly important because they can provide the hadronic weak decay matrix elements needed for key constraints on the CKM Unitarity Triangle. I will summarise recent results in…

We present the first light-hadron spectroscopy on a set of $N_f=2+1$ dynamical, anisotropic lattices. A convenient set of coordinates that parameterize the two-dimensional plane of light and strange-quark masses is introduced. These…
We present results for the static-light meson from unquenched lattice QCD. The unquenched gauge configurations were generated using the non-perturbatively improved clover action. At the fixed lattice spacing of 0.1 fm the lightest sea quark…

We propose a new strategy for the determination of the QCD coupling. It relies on a coupling computed in QCD with $N_{\rm f} \geq 3$ degenerate heavy quarks at a low energy scale $\mu_{\rm dec}$, together with a non-perturbative…
We report the first lattice QCD results of the scattering amplitudes of the $K\pi$ system for $I = 1/2$ channel together with $I=3/2$ case. We investigate all quark diagrams contributing to these iso-spin states, and find that the…
