Motivated by simulation results for octet and decuplet baryon masses using 2+1 flavors of light staggered quarks, we are incorporating staggered lattice artifacts into heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory, calculating the masses of…
We report on recent progress in the calculation of $B_K$ using HYP-smeared improved staggered fermions on the MILC asqtad lattices. We have added measurements on fine ($a\sim 0.09 $fm) and superfine ($a\sim 0.06 $fm) ensembles at different…
We present a new formulation of the staggered fermion on the D-dimensional lattice based on the SO(2D) Clifford algebra, which is naturally present in the action. The action of the massless staggered fermion is invariant under the discrete…
A different lattice fermion method is introduced. Staggered domain wall fermions are defined in 2n+1 dimensions and describe 2^n flavors of light lattice fermions with exact U(1) x U(1) chiral symmetry in 2n dimensions. As the size of the…

We review the recent discoveries of exotic heavy baryons at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
We investigate a proposal for the construction of models with chiral fermions on the lattice using staggered fermions. In this approach the gauge invariance is broken by the coupling of the staggered fermions to the gauge fields. Motivated…
We report the results of a numerical study of staggered overlap fermions, following the construction of Adams which reduces the number of tastes from 4 to 2 without fine-tuning. We study the sensitivity of the operator to the topology of…
In this review talk I summarize theoretical expectations for properties of hybrid mesons and baryons, and discuss the prospects for identifying these states experimentally. This is an expanded version of an Invited Contribution to the…
Because the staggered fermion determinant is complex at nonzero mu, taking its fourth root leads to phase ambiguities. These unphysical effects cause the measure to become discontinuous; the problem becomes acute when Re mu exceeds…
We construct domain wall fermions with a staggered kernel and investigate their spectral and chiral properties numerically in the Schwinger model. In some relevant cases we see an improvement of chirality by more than an order of magnitude…
It is well-known that staggered fermions do not necessarily satisfy the same global symmetries as the continuum theory. We analyze the mechanism behind this phenomenon for arbitrary dimension and gauge group representation. For this purpose…

We study the finite temperature transition in QCD with two flavors of dynamical fermions at a pseudoscalar pion mass of about 350 MeV. We use lattices with temporal extent of $N_t$=8, 10 and 12. For the first time in the literature a…
The SELEX experiment (E781) at Fermilab has observed two statistically compelling high mass states near 3.6 GeV/c^2, decaying to Lambda_c+ K- pi+ and Lambda_c+ K- pi+ pi+. These final states are Cabibbo-allowed decay modes of doubly charmed…
We present new results in an ongoing study of the nature of the high temperature crossover in QCD with two light fermion flavors. These results are obtained with the conventional staggered fermion action at the smallest lattice spacing to…
As a new type of fermions without counterpart in high energy physics, triply degenerate fermions show exotic physical properties, which are represented by triply degenerate nodal points in topological semimetals. Here, based on the space…
