The staggered quark action on anisotropic lattices is studied. We carry out numerical simulations in the quenched approximation at three values of lattice spacing ($a_{\sigma}^{-1}=1-2$ GeV) with the anisotropy $\xi= a_{\sigma}/a_{\tau}=4$,…
There are at least two methods to calculate $ B_K $ with staggered fermions: one is the two spin trace formalism and the other is the one spin trace formalism. We have performed numerical simulations on a $ 16^3 \times 40 $ lattice in full…
We simulate lattice QCD at non--zero baryon density and zero temperature in the quenched approximation, both in the scaling region and in the infinite coupling limit. We investigate the nature of the forbidden region -- the range of…
We present the first study of the light hadron spectrum and decay constants for quenched QCD using an O(a)-improved nearest-neighbour Wilson fermion action at \beta=6.2. We compare the results with those obtained using the standard Wilson…
We study the quenched chiral behavior of the pion with mass as low as $\approx 180$ MeV. The calculation is done on a quenched lattice of size $16^3\times 28$ and $a = 0.2$ fm with 80 configurations using overlap fermions and an improved…
As computing resources are limited, choosing the parameters for a full Lattice QCD simulation always amounts to a compromise between the competing objectives of a lattice spacing as small, quarks as light, and a volume as large as possible.…
Heavy-light bound states are studied in Lattice QCD with emphasis on parameters of the B-system relevant to experiment. Results are obtained on lattices with lattice spacings from about 0.15 fm to 0.06 fm corresponding to $\beta=5.74, 6.0$…
Lattice QCD calculations using gauge smearing for fermion kernels are computationally efficient. Hypercubic blocking (nHYP smearing) has been shown to reduce scaling errors. In this work we use an improved action for $N_f=2$ QCD, based on…

Indirect CP violation in K \rightarrow {\pi}{\pi} decays plays a central role in constraining the flavor structure of the Standard Model (SM) and in the search for new physics. For many years the leading uncertainty in the SM prediction of…

In quenched lattice QCD with standard Wilson fermions the quark propagator is computed very close to the chiral limit in the zero-temperature case. Starting from our experience with lattice QED we employ a modified statistical method in…
