The η′ meson at the physical point with Nf = 2 Wilson twisted mass fermions
2018
We present results for the η′ meson and the topological susceptibility in Nf = 2 flavour lattice QCD. The results are obtained using Wilson twisted mass fermions at maximal twist with pion masses ranging from 340 MeV down to the physical point. A comparison to literature values is performed giving a handle on discretisation effects.
Topological susceptibility and η′ meson mass from Nf=2 lattice QCD at the physical point
2019
In this paper we explore the computation of topological susceptibility and ${\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ meson mass in ${N}_{f}=2$ flavor QCD using lattice techniques with a physical value of the pion mass as well as larger pion mass values. We observe that the physical point can be reached without a significant increase in the statistical noise. The mass of the ${\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ meson can be obtained from both fermionic two point functions and topological charge density correlation functions, giving compatible results. With the pion mass dependence of the ${\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ mass being flat we arrive at ${M}_{{\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath…
Excited state systematics in extracting nucleon electromagnetic form factors
2012
We present updated preliminary results for the nucleon electromagnetic form factors for non-perturbatively $\mathcal{O}(a)$ improved Wilson fermions in $N_f=2$ QCD measured on the CLS ensembles. The use of the summed operator insertion method allows us to suppress the influence of excited states in our measurements. A study of the effect that excited state contaminations have on the $Q^2$ dependence of the extracted nucleon form factors may then be made through comparisons of the summation method to standard plateau fits, as well as to excited state fits.
Scale setting via the \Omega\ baryon mass
2011
We present the first results of an ongoing effort to determine the lattice scale on the N_f=2 CLS lattice ensembles via the mass of the \Omega\ baryon. Results from different methods are compared, and various sources of systematic uncertainty are discussed.
