We perform hybrid Monte Carlo simulation of lattice QCD with $N_f=2+1+1 $ optimal domain-wall quarks on the $32^3 \times 64 $ lattice with lattice spacing $a \sim 0.06$ fm, and generate a gauge ensemble with physical $s$ and $c$ quarks, and…
The $D^*D\pi$ form factor is evaluated at low and moderate $Q^2$ in a hadronic loop model, for off-shell $D$ mesons. The results contain arbitrary constants, which are fixed so as to match previous QCD sum rule calculations valid at higher…
We argue that high-precision lattice QCD is now possible, for the first time, because of a new improved staggered quark discretization. We compare a wide variety of nonperturbative calculations in QCD with experiment, and find agreement to…
For the pressure (or free energy) of QCD, four-dimensional (4d) lattice data is available at zero baryon density up to a few times the critical temperature $T_c$. Perturbation theory, on the other hand, has serious convergence problems even…
The mass of the lowest spin-zero, strangeness-$(-2)$ flavor singlet state in the dibaryon sector has been calculated in quenched QCD on $16^3\times32$ and $24^3\times32$ lattices at $\beta=5.85$ to study whether the energy of the proposed…
Quenched QCD simulations on three volumes, $8^3 \times$, $12^3 \times$ and $16^3 \times 32$ and three couplings, $\beta=5.7$, 5.85 and 6.0 using domain wall fermions provide a consistent picture of quenched QCD. We demonstrate that the…
We compute the strong coupling constant $g_{P^* P \pi}$, with $P$ and $P^*$ respectively pseudoscalar and vector heavy mesons by using the QCD sum rules approach. Our computation is based on the evaluation of the time ordered product of…
A new study is reported of a lattice QCD calculation of the $K^+\to\pi^+ \pi^0 $ decay amplitude with the Wilson quark action in the quenched approximation at $\beta=6.1$. The amplitude is extracted from the $K\to\pi\pi$ Green function, and…
We compute masses of $D$ meson, $D_s$ meson and charmonium states using $N_f=2+1+1$ Wilson twisted mass lattice QCD. All results are extrapolated to physical light quark masses, physical strange and charm quark masses and to the continuum.…
Continuing our investigations of quenched QCD with improved fermions we have started simulations for lattice size 32^3 x 64 at beta=6.2. We present first results for light hadron masses at kappa=0.13520, 0.13540, and 0.13555. Moreover we…
For compact U(1) lattice gauge theory (LGT) we have performed a finite size scaling analysis on $N_{\tau} N_s^3$ lattices for $N_{\tau}$ fixed by extrapolating spatial volumes of size $N_s\le 18$ to $N_s\to\infty$. Within the numerical…
QCD at finite density presents specific challenges to lattice gauge theory. Nonetheless, a region of the QCD phase diagram up to moderately large baryon chemical potentials has been successfully explored on the lattice and new results and…
The leading electromagnetic (e.m.) and strong isospin-breaking corrections to the $\pi^+ \to \mu^+ \nu[\gamma]$ and $K^+ \to \mu^+ \nu[\gamma]$ leptonic decay rates are evaluated for the first time on the lattice. The results are obtained…
We study an accurate method for the lattice calculation of the B*Bpi Coupling in the static limit, paying particular attention to excited state contamination. As this coupling is a parameter of the heavy meson chiral Lagrangian, it is…
