K°- K°, - D° and B° - B° oscillations in the Standard Model and beyond from unquenched Twisted Mass Lattice QCD
El análisis del triángulo de unitariedad y la búsqueda de cotas restrictivas sobre las escala de nueva física requiere medidas precisas de las amplitudes de mezcla de las oscilaciones de mesones. El retículo proporciona una óptima herramienta no perturbativa para el cálculo de dichos elementos de matriz con incertidumbres del 1% y errores sistemáticos bajo control. La tesis se centra en el cálculo de los parámetros B, que controlan las oscilaciones de mesones, la masa del quark b y las constantes de desintegración fB y fBs a partir de QCD simulada en el retículo con fermiones Twisted Mass e incluyendo los efectos cuánticos de quarks dinámicos en el mar. A lo largo de esta tesis, a partir de…
D-0 - (D)over-bar(0) mixing in the standard model and beyond from N-f=2 twisted mass QCD
We present the first unquenched lattice QCD results for the bag parameters controlling the short distance contribution to D meson oscillations in the standard model and beyond. We have used the gauge configurations produced by the European Twisted Mass collaboration with N-f = 2 dynamical quarks, at four lattice spacings and light meson masses in the range 280-500 MeV. Renormalization is carried out nonperturbatively with the regularization-independent momentum subtraction method. The bag-parameter results have been used to constrain new physics effects in D-0 ¿ (D) over bar (0) mixing, to put a lower bound to the generic new physics scale and to constrain off-diagonal squark mass terms for…
Up, down, strange and charm quark masses with N-f=2+1+1 twisted mass lattice QCD
We present a lattice QCD calculation of the up, down, strange and charm quark masses performed using the gauge configurations produced by the European Twisted Mass Collaboration with N-f = 2 + 1 + 1 dynamical quarks, which include in the sea, besides two light mass degenerate quarks, also the strange and charm quarks with masses close to their physical values. The simulations are based on a unitary setup for the two light quarks and on a mixed action approach for the strange and charm quarks. The analysis uses data at three values of the lattice spacing and pion masses in the range 210-450 MeV, allowing for accurate continuum limit and controlled chiral extrapolation. The quark mass renorma…
