The heavy-quark mass and wave function renormalizations, energy shift, and radiative corrections to two important couplings, the so-called kinetic couplings, in nonrelativistic lattice QCD are determined to leading order in tadpole-improved…

We present results for hadrons containing a strange quark in quenched lattice QCD. We calculate masses and decay constants using 60 gauge configurations with an O(a)-improved fermion action at beta = 6.2. Using the rho mass to set the…

In this review we discuss the general features of maximally twisted lattice QCD. In particular, we illustrate how automatic O(a) improvement can be achieved and how it is possible to set up a lattice regularization scheme where the problem…

A novel method to calculate f_B on the lattice is introduced, based on the study of the dependence of finite size effects upon the heavy quark mass of flavoured mesons and on a non-perturbative recursive finite size technique. We avoid the…

We review a relativistic approach to the heavy quark physics in lattice QCD by applying a relativistic $O(a)$ improvement to the massive Wilson quark action on the lattice. After explaining how power corrections of $m_Q a$ can be avoided…

We explore the possibility of computing fermionic correlators on the lattice by combining a domain decomposition with a multi-level integration scheme. The quark propagator is expanded in series of terms with a well defined hierarchical…

We match the continuum and lattice axial vector and vector currents at one loop in perturbation theory. For the heavy quarks we use the nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) action and for the light quarks the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ)…

We study field strength correlators in presence of a static quark-antiquark pair by use of lattice methods. The lattice data have been acquired recently in the context of a determination of relativistic corrections to the static interquark…

Hadron masses are subject to few MeV corrections arising from QED interactions, almost entirely arising from the electric charge of the valence quarks. The QED effects include both self-energy contributions and interactions between the…

We study the heavy-heavy-light quark ($QQq$) potential in SU(3) quenched lattice QCD, and discuss one of the roles of the finite-mass valence quark in the inter-quark potential. Monte Carlo simulations are performed with the standard gauge…

By using Symanzik's improvement program, we study on-shell improved lattice QCD with staggered fermions. We find that there are as many as 15 independent lattice operators of dimension of six~(including both gauge and fermion operators)…

We perform numerical simulations of lattice QCD with two flavors of dynamical overlap quarks, which have exact chiral symmetry on the lattice. While this fermion discretization is computationally demanding, we demonstrate the feasibility to…

We present an update of our study of high temperature QCD with three flavors of quarks, using a Symanzik improved gauge action and the Asqtad staggered quark action. Simulations are being carried out on lattices with Nt=4, 6 and 8 for the…

The improved Wilson quark action - the clover action - is constructed to have smaller discretization errors than the normal Wilson quark action. We test this in a quenched spectroscopy computation on 6 lattice ensembles with spacings from…

Few-body physics plays a central role in many branches of physics, such as nuclear physics and atomic physics. Advances in controlling ultra-cold quantum gases provide an ideal testbed for few-body physics theory. In this work, we study…

We present results from an ongoing lattice study of the lowest lying charmonium and bottomonium level splittings using the Fermilab heavy quark formalism. Our objective is to test the performance of this action on MILC-collaboration…

A lattice action for QED is considered, where the derivatives in the Dirac operator are replaced by one-sided lattice differences. A systematic expansion in the lattice spacing of the one-loop contribution to the fermion self energy, vacuum…

Quark number susceptibility on the lattice, obtained by merely adding a $\mu N$ term with $\mu$ as the chemical potential and $N$ as the conserved quark number, has a quadratic divergence in the cut-off $a$. We show that such a divergence…

Some recent beyond Standard Model phenomenology is based on new strongly interacting dynamics of $SU(N)$ gauge fields coupled to various numbers of fermions. When $N=3$ these systems are analogues of QCD, although the fermion masses are…

We study the lattice spacing dependence, or scaling, of physical quantities using the highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) action introduced by the HPQCD/UKQCD collaboration, comparing our results to similar simulations with the asqtad…
