Decorrelating Topology with HMC

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

The investigation of the decorrelation efficiency of the HMC algorithm with respect to vacuum topology is a prerequisite for trustworthy full QCD simulations, in particular for the computation of topology sensitive quantities. We demonstrate that for mpi/mrho ratios <= 0.69 sufficient tunneling between the topological sectors can be achieved, for two flavours of dynamical Wilson fermions close to the scaling region beta=5.6. Our results are based on time series of length 5000 trajectories.
