We simulate Quantum Chromodynamics in four Euclidean dimensions with two (degenerate mass) flavors of dynamical quarks. The Dirac operator is the so-called chirally improved operator that has been studied so far in quenched calculations. We…
Recent work has identified that the primary differences between quenched and dynamical spectroscopy can be described by chiral loop effects. Here we highlight the features of this study.
