We discuss preliminary results from our quenched light hadron mass calculation on a $48^3 \times 64$ lattice at the coupling of $\beta = 6.5$. Staggered quarks with masses of $m_q = 0.01, 0.005, 0.0025$ and $0.00125$ are used.
We present the results for the hadron spectrum calculated on 400 configurations using point source, wall source and 8-cubic sources, in quenched QCD with Wilson fermions at $\beta=6.0$ and $K=0.155$ on a $24^3 \times 54$ lattice. The…
We report recent results of a non-perturbative determination of the static heavy-quark potential in quenched and dynamical lattice QCD at finite temperature. The real and imaginary part of this complex quantity are extracted from the…
Adding chemical potential $\mu$ linearly as $\mu N$ to the lattice QCD action, where $N$ is a conserved quark/baryon number, leads to a quadratic divergence as $a^{-2}$. We argue that it is inherited from the continuum theory and can be…
We study, in the quenched approximation, Luescher's relation between pion scattering lengths and the finite-volume energy of two pions at rest. The quenched relation is drastically different from the full theory one; in particular,…
We present the results of a computation of the sum of the strange and average up-down quark masses with overlap fermions in the quenched approximation. Since the overlap regularization preserves chiral symmetry at finite cutoff and volume,…
This talk presents some results relevant for lattice QCD at higher order in ChPT. First we discuss the finite volume corrections at two loops for the quark condensate as well as a L\"uscherlike finite volume formula for it. The latter…
We present an overview of recent results from the CP-PACS computer on the quenched light hadron spectrum and an on-going two-flavour full QCD study. We find that our quenched hadron mass results are compatible with the mass formulae…
We obtain estimates of several hadron mass ratios, for Wilson quarks in the valence (quenched) approximation, extrapolated to physical quark mass, infinite volume and zero lattice spacing.
We propose a method to improve the quenched approximation. The method, based on the worldline formalism, takes into account effects of quark loops. The idea is useful mostly for AdS/CFT (holographic) calculations. To demonstrate the method…
A serious difficulty in conventional lattice field theory calculations is the coupling between the chiral and continuum limits. With both staggered and Wilson fermions, the chiral limit cannot be realized without first taking the limit of…
In view of the recent excitement about a tension between determinations of f_Ds from experiment and from simulations of lattice QCD with dynamical quarks, we try to clear up the picture of lattice determinations in the continuum limit of…
We evaluate the infinite volume, continuum limits of eight hadron mass ratios predicted by lattice QCD with Wilson quarks in the valence (quenched) approximation. Each predicted ratio differs from the corresponding observed value by less…
I calculate the kaon B-parameter with a lattice simulation in quenched approximation. The lattice simulation uses an action possessing exact lattice chiral symmetry, an overlap action. Computations are performed at two lattice spacings,…
We present new results of our ongoing project toward a precision determination of the kaon $B$ parameter with the Kogut-Susskind quark action in quenched QCD. New results taken at $\beta$=6.4 and $\beta=5.7$ suggest that an apparently…
Working with a large basis of covariant derivative-based meson interpolating fields we demonstrate the feasibility of reliably extracting multiple excited states using a variational method. The study is performed on quenched anisotropic…
We present a comprehensive study of finite volume and lattice spacing effects on observables calculated in the static approximation. Ground state projection using smearing techniques is studied at $\beta=6.26$. We give high statics results…
During the past year the MILC Collaboration has continued its study of heavy-light meson decay constants with three dynamical quarks. Calculations have been extended to a second lattice spacing of about 0.09 fm. At this lattice spacing,…
The dependence of the pseudoscalar meson mass and decay constant is compared to one-loop Partially Quenched Chiral Perturbation Theory (PQChPT) in a numerical simulation with two light dynamical quarks. The characteristic behaviour with…
A continuum extrapolation of static four- and two-quark energies calculated in quenched SU(2) is done based on Sommer's method of setting the scale. A model for four-quark energies with explicit gluonic degrees of freedom removed is fitted…
