Effective field theories provide a formalism for categorizing low-energy effects of a high-energy fundamental theory in terms of the low-energy degrees of freedom. This process has been well established in mapping the fundamental theory of…
The heavy quark-antiquark potential in perturbative QCD is subject to ambiguities. We show how to derive a well-defined and stable short-distance potential that can be matched to results from lattice QCD simulations at intermediate…
We illustrate the current status of heavy quark physics on the lattice. Special emphasis is paid to the question of systematic uncertainties and to the connection of lattice computations to continuum physics. Latest results are presented…
I review a new treatment of an old idea for light-front quantization of lattice gauge theories and give new results from some illustrative calculations: [I] transverse lattice gauge theory; [II] pure glue; [III] heavy sources and winding…
This lecture note presents a self-contained introduction to the theory of a heavy quark-antiquark ($Q\bar{Q}$) system in terms of perturbative QCD. The lecture is intended for non-experts, such as graduate course students. The heavy…
The temporal and spatial components of the heavy-light vector current and the spatial components of the axial current are expressed in terms of lattice-regulated operators suitable for simulations of B and D mesons. The currents are…
Noise subtraction techniques can help reduce the statistical uncertainty in the extraction of hard to detect signals. We describe new noise subtraction methods in Lattice QCD which apply to disconnected diagram evaluations. Some of the…
Lattice gauge theory is our primary tool for the study of non-perturbative phenomena in hadronic physics. In addition to giving quantitative information on confinement, the approach is yielding first principles calculations of hadronic…
In this short review, I present a summary of various methods used to simulate heavy quarks on the lattice. I mainly focus on effectives theories, and give some physical results.
Noise subtraction methods are a set of techniques that aim to reduce the variance of signals in LQCD which are often flooded with noise. The standard approach is a pertubative subtraction. In this work, we demonstrate the abilities of our…
Lattice formulations of QCD with Wilson fermions and a chirally twisted quark mass matrix provide an attractive framework for non-perturbative numerical studies. Owing to reparameterization invariance, the limiting continuum theory is just…
We survey results in lattice quantum chromodynamics from groups in the USQCD Collaboration. The main focus is on physics, but many aspects of the discussion are aimed at an audience of computational physicists.
Recent progress in unquenched lattice QCD simulations is reviewed with emphasis on understanding of chiral behavior for light quark masses.
We pursue the idea of adding the naive $\mu N$ term, where $\mu$ is the quark chemical potential and $N$ is the conserved quark number, to the lattice QCD action. While computations of higher order susceptibilities, required for estimating…
We discuss recent progress made studies of bulk thermodynamics of strongly interacting matter through lattice simulations of QCD with an almost physical light and strange quark mass spectrum. We present results on the QCD equation of state…
The proton spin crisis remains an unsolved problem in particle physics. The spin and angular momentum of the partons inside the proton are non-perturbative quantities in QCD which cannot be calculated by using the perturbative QCD (pQCD).…
Low energy precision experiments provide significant tests of the laws of nature that can reveal physics beyond the Standard Model. A good theoretical understanding of the low energy properties of QCD is required for this purpose. The…
Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (LQCD) studies of light nuclei have entered an era when first results on structure and reaction properties of light nuclei have emerged in recent years, complementing existing results on their lowest-lying…
Despite quantum chromodynamics (QCD) being established as the theory of the strong interaction and its many successes since then, significant challenges in our understanding of hadron physics remain. The lack of a full understanding for how…
Lattice QCD has the potential this decade to maximize the sensitivity of the entire flavor physics program to new physics and pave the way for understanding physics beyond the Standard Model at the LHC in the coming decade. However, the…
