We study the mass spectra of excited baryons with the use of the lattice QCD simulations. We focus our attention on the problem of the level ordering between the positive-parity excited state N'(1440) (the Roper resonance) and the…
Based on lattice non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) studies we present results for Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes for $\Upsilon(1S)$, $\Upsilon(2S)$ and $\Upsilon(3S)$ in vacuum as well as in quark-gluon plasma. Our study is based on 2+1 flavor $48^3…
We compute on the lattice the ``bag'' parameters of the five (Delta B = 2) operators of the supersymmetric basis, by combining their values determined in full QCD and in the static limit of HQET. The extrapolation of the QCD results from…
We report on a study of B mesons on N_f = 2 full QCD configurations using an RG-improved gauge action, NRQCD heavy quark action and tadpole-improved clover light quark action. Results on the heavy-light spectrum and the decay constants from…
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…
The scale parameter $\Lambda_{\overline{MS}}$ is computed on the lattice in the quenched approximation and for $N_f = 2$ flavors of light dynamical quarks. The dynamical calculation is done with non-perturbatively $O(a)$ improved Wilson…
We revisit the static potential for the $Q Q \bar Q \bar Q$ system using SU(3) lattice simulations, studying both the colour singlets groundstate and first excited state. We consider geometries where the two static quarks and the two…
We present an update of our NRQCD calculation of $B_B$ at $\beta$=5.9 with increased statistics. We also discuss a calculation of $B_S$, which is relevant to the width difference in the $B_s-\bar{B}_s$ mixing.
Following the Non-Relativistic QCD approach we use a gauge invariant smearing method with factorization to measure the excitation energies for a heavy $Q\bar{Q}$ system on a $24^3\times 48$ lattice at $\beta=6.2$. The results come from…
Using lowest-order lattice NRQCD to create heavy meson propagators and applying the spin-dependent interaction, $c_B^{} \frac{-g}{2m_q}\vec\sigma\cdot\vec{B}$, at varying intermediate time slices, we compute the off-diagonal matrix element…
We present results for the spectrum of b-bbar bound states in the quenched approximation for three different values of the lattice spacing. Results for spin-independent splittings are shown to have good scaling behaviour; spin-dependent…
We have computed the decay constants for the $B$ and $D$ mesons, using quenched lattices at $\beta=6.3$, by interpolating between the static approximation of Eichten and the conventional (``heavy'' Wilson fermion) method. A more careful…
We present a quenched lattice calculation of heavy-light meson decay constants, using non-relativistic (NRQCD) heavy quarks in the mass region of the $b$ quark and heavier, and clover-improved light quarks. The NRQCD Hamiltonian and the…
We present results of quenched lattice calculations of the matrix elements relevant for B_d-\bar B_d and B_s-\bar B_s mixing in the Standard Model. Results for the corresponding SU(3)-breaking ratios, which can be used to constrain or…
This talk summarizes the quenched calculation of $f_B$ and $f_{B_s}$ presented in hep-lat/9801038. The heavy quark is simulated using an $O(1/M^2)$ improved NRQCD action, and the tadpole improved clover action is used for the light quarks.…
Quarkonia -- mesons made of a heavy quark and anti-quark -- have been extensively studied experimentally. Theoretical calculations of quarkonia based on lattice QCD are possible with control over the systematic errors. The comparison with…
We present a lattice calculation of the B meson B-parameter B_B using the NRQCD action. The heavy quark mass dependence is explicitly studied over a mass range between m_b and 4m_b with the $O(1/m_Q)$ and $O(1/m_Q^2)$ actions. We find that…
Recent progresses in lattice studies of heavy quark and quarkonium at non-zero temperature are discussed. Formulating a tail of spectral functions as a transport coefficient allows lattice determination of momentum diffusion coefficient…
We present initial results from Monte Carlo simulations of NRQCD-light, static-light, and NRQCD-NRQCD mesons, using a variational technique (MOST), as part of our ongoing calculation of the $f_{B}$ decay constant. The basis states for the…
We review the current status and present open challenges of large $N_c$ QCD baryon spectroscopy. After introducing the $1/N_c$ expansion method we first shortly revisit the latest achievements for the ground state properties. Next we…
