We calculate the disconnected contribution to the form factor for the semileptonic decay of a D-meson into a final state, containing a flavor singlet eta meson. We use QCDSF n_f=2+1 configurations at the flavor symmetric point m_u=m_d=m_s…

We calculate the strange magnetic moment of the nucleon on a quenched $16^3 \times 24$ lattice at $\beta = 6.0$, and with Wilson fermions at $\kappa$ = 0.148, 0.152, and 0.154. The strange quark contribution from the disconnected insertion…
In recent years, we used lattice QCD to calculate some quantities that were unknown or poorly known. They are the $q^2$ dependence of the form factor in semileptonic $D\to Kl\nu$ decay, the leptonic decay constants of the $D^+$ and $D_s$…
It is known that the trace anomaly in the QCD energy-momentum tensor $T^{\mu \nu}$ can be attributed to the anomalies for each of the gauge-invariant quark part and gluon part of $T^{\mu \nu}$, and their explicit three-loop formulas have…
