New results from lattice QCD: Non-perturbative renormalization and quark masses
1998
For the first time, we compute non-perturbatively, i.e. without lattice perturbation theory, the renormalization constants of two-fermion operators in the quenched approximation at $\beta=6.0$, 6.2 and 6.4 using the Wilson and the tree-level improved SW-Clover actions. We apply these renormalization constants to fully non-perturbatively estimate quark masses in the $\bar{MS}$ scheme from lattice simulations of both the hadron spectrum and the Axial Ward Identity in the quenched approximation. Some very preliminary unquenched Wilson results obtained from the gluon configurations generated by the T$\chi$L Collaboration at $\beta=5.6$ and $N_{f}=2$ are also discussed.
Pion parton distributions in a nonlocal Lagrangian
2005
We use phenomenological nonlocal Lagrangians, which lead to non trivial forms for the quark propagator, to describe the pion. We define a procedure, based on the Dyson-Schwinger equations, for the calculation of the pion parton distributions at low Q^2. The obtained parton distributions fulfill all the wishful properties. Using a convolution approach we incorporate the composite character of the constituent quarks in the formalism. We evolve, using the Renormalization Group, the calculated parton distributions to the experimental scale and compare favorably with the data and draw conclusions.
Mesonic decay of 5ΛHe with quark-model-based hypernuclear wave function
1993
Abstract We have evaluated the mesonic decay of the 5 Λ He hypernucleus by using a Λ wave function generated from the quark cluster model. As a consequence of the Λ N repulsion at short distances we obtain a Λ wave function in the nucleus with a large radius. The smaller overlap with the 4 He core with respect to simpler wave functions and the effect of the pion renormalization increase the mesonic width considerably and one obtains a good reproduction of the experimental data.

Nonperturbative renormalization of quark bilinears
1998
We compute non-perturbatively the renormalization constants of quark bilinears on the lattice in the quenched approximation at three values of the coupling beta=6/g_0^2=6.0,6.2,6.4 using both the Wilson and the tree-level improved SW-Clover fermion action. We perform a Renormalization Group analysis at the next-to-next-to-leading order and compute Renormalization Group invariant values for the constants. The results are applied to obtain a fully non-perturbative estimate of the vector and pseudoscalar decay constants.
Nonperturbative renormalization and O(a) -improvement of the nonsinglet vector current with Nf=2+1 Wilson fermions and tree-level Symanzik improved g…
2019
In calculating hadronic contributions to precision observables for tests of the Standard Model in lattice QCD, the electromagnetic current plays a central role. Using a Wilson action with $\mathrm{O}(a)$ improvement in QCD with ${N}_{\mathrm{f}}$ flavors, a counterterm must be added to the vector current in order for its on-shell matrix elements to be $\mathrm{O}(a)$ improved. In addition, the local vector current, which has support on one lattice site, must be renormalized. At $\mathrm{O}(a)$, the breaking of the $\mathrm{SU}({N}_{\mathrm{f}})$ symmetry by the quark mass matrix leads to a mixing between the local currents of different quark flavors. We present a nonperturbative calculation…
Determination of m¯b/m¯c and m¯b from nf=4 lattice QCD+QED
2021
We extend HPQCD's earlier ${n}_{f}=2+1+1$ lattice-QCD analysis of the ratio of $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ masses of the $b$ and $c$ quark to include results from finer lattices (down to 0.03 fm) and a new calculation of QED contributions to the mass ratio. We find that ${\overline{m}}_{b}(\ensuremath{\mu})/{\overline{m}}_{c}(\ensuremath{\mu})=4.586(12)$ at renormalization scale $\ensuremath{\mu}=3\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$. This result is nonperturbative. Combining it with HPQCD's recent lattice $\mathrm{QCD}+\mathrm{QED}$ determination of ${\overline{m}}_{c}(3\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV})$ gives a new value for the $b$-quark mass: ${\overline{m}}_{b}(3\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV})=4.513(2…
Gauge-invariant on-shellZ 2 in QED, QCD and the effective field theory of a static quark
1991
We calculate theon-shell fermion wave-function renormalization constantZ 2 of a general gauge theory, to two loops, inD dimensions and in an arbitrary covariant gauge, and find it to be gauge-invariant. In QED this is consistent with the dimensionally regularized version of the Johnson-Zumino relation: d logZ 2/da 0=i(2π)−D e 0 2 ∫d D k/k 4=0. In QCD it is, we believe, a new result, strongly suggestive of the cancellation of the gauge-dependent parts of non-abelian UV and IR anomalous dimensions to all orders. At the two-loop level, we find that the anomalous dimension γ F of the fermion field in minimally subtracted QCD, withN L light-quark flavours, differs from the corresponding anomalou…
Dimensional reduction methods in QCD
1994
We apply the technique of dimensional reduction to massless quantum chromodynamics. It is shown that compared to conventional dimensional regularization methods calculations of radiative corrections at the one-loop level are less involved. We discuss the use of helicity methods within this framework and as an application we evaluate the one-loop corrections to the parity-violating cross sections and to the quark forwardbackward asymmetric polarization in\(e^ + e^ - \to V \to q\bar q(g)\). Finally, we demonstrate that further simplifications occur in the computation of structure functions including the parity-violating structure function in quark- and gluoninitiated electroproduction process…
Operator product expansion and quark condensate from Lattice QCD in coordinate space
2005
We present a lattice QCD determination of the chiral quark condensate based on a new method. We extract the quark condensate from the operator product expansion of the quark propagator at short euclidean distances, where it represents the leading contribution in the chiral limit. From this study we obtain MS( 2 GeV) = -( 265 +/- 5 +/- 22MeV)(3), in good agreement with determinations of this quantity based on different approaches. The simulation is performed by using the O( a)- improved Wilson action at beta = 6.45 on a volume 32(3) x 70 in the quenched approximation.
