Fully nonperturbative charm-quark tuning using machine learning

2022

We present a relativistic heavy-quark action tuning for the charm sector on ensembles generated by the CLS consortium. We tune a particular 5-parameter action in an entirely non-perturbative and -- up to the chosen experimental input -- model-independent way using machine learning and the continuum experimental charmonium ground-state masses with various quantum numbers. In the end we are reasonably successful; obtaining a set of simulation parameters that we then verify produces the expected spectrum. In the future, we will use this action for finite-volume calculations of hadron-hadron scattering.
