This paper is part of a program of investigation of the chiral transition in Nf=2 QCD, started in Phys.Rev.D72:114510,2005. Progress is reported on the understanding of some possible systematic errors. A direct test of first order scaling…
We investigate higher order effects in the nonrelativistic expansion of lattice QCD on the heavy-light meson decay constants and some other quantities in order to understand the truncation error of NRQCD. While our numerical results have…
We discuss a simple method to evaluate the QCD corrections to $\Delta\rho$. It assumes that the perturbative expansion in terms of $\ms$ parameters is meaningful and, unlike other studies, exploits significant available information…
The sentence, 11th line below Eq. (30), starting with "Further in [14] one has included all interference terms ...." is wrong and has been corrected. Second line below Eq. (40) m_bar(m)=m is replaced by m_bar(\mu_0)=\mu_0 with \mu_0=4.10…
One-loop QCD corrections to the full gauge invariant set of electroweak diagrams describing the charged current processes $e^+ e^- \to u \bar d \mu \bar\nu_\mu$ (CC10), $e^+ e^- \to u \bar d e^- \bar\nu_e$ (CC20) and $e^+ e^- \to u \bar d s…
We summarize our recent results for the (T,mu)-phase diagram of N_f=3 QCD. Finding a strong variation of the critical endpoint mu_c with the quark mass m, we point out that an endpoint within reach of experiment requires fine-tuned quark…
Progress on the calculation of the spectrum from lattice calculations is reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on discussing our ability to control possible systematic errors coming from finite volume, and extrapolations in quark mass and…
We present the NNLO QCD virtual corrections for qurak-antiquark -> gluon photon, quark-antiquark -> photon photon and the NNLO QED virtual corrections for electron positron -> photon photon and all processes related by crossing symmetry. We…
Considerable progress has been achieved recently in the observation of string breaking within non-Abelian Higgs models, by use of multi-channel methods allowing for broken string states. Similarly, in pure gauge theory this approach has…
I offer a brief summary, with commentary, of theoretical contributions to Moriond QCD 2008.
The correction to the string junction three-quark potential in a baryon due to the proper moment of inertia of the QCD string is calculated. The magnitudes of the string corrections in P-wave heavy baryons are estimated.
The in-medium modifications of hadron properties are briefly discussed. We restrict the discussion to the lattice QCD calculations for the hadron masses, screening masses, decay constants and wave functions. We review the progress made so…
This is the Lattice '95 review of recent progress towards accurate QCD simulations using very coarse lattices. This development could have revolutionary implications for low energy (nonperturbative) QCD.
A simple parametrization of the QCD running coupling at low scales is introduced and used to illustrate various schemes for the estimation of non-perturbative power corrections. The `infrared matching' scheme proposed earlier gives…
We present a full result for the 2+1 flavor QCD equation of state. All the systematics are controlled, the quark masses are set to their physical values, and the continuum extrapolation is carried out. This extends our previous studies…
Recent developments of the model of quantized helical QCD string are presented, notably the baryon production. An overview of the experimental evidence is discussed as well as possible applications.
It is recommended that lattice QCD representations of the fermion determinant, including the discretization of the Dirac operator, be checked in the continuum limit against known QED determinant results. Recent work on the massive QED…
Recent developments in the evaluation of two-loop pseudo-observables and observables are briefly reviewed.
We present the first computation of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) pure QED and mixed QCD$\otimes$QED corrections to unpolarized and polarized semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS). Building on our previous NNLO QCD…
We show that the QCD factorization approach for $B$-meson decays to charmless hadronic two-body final states can be extended to include electromagnetic corrections. The presence of electrically charged final-state particles complicates the…
