Hadronic Vacuum Polarization Contribution to g-2 from the Lattice

We give a short description of the present situation of lattice QCD simulations. We then focus on the computation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon using lattice techniques. We demonstrate that by employing improved observables for the muon anomalous magnetic moment, a significant reduction of the lattice error can be obtained. This provides a promising scenario that the accuracy of lattice calculations can match the experimental errors.

Status of the MILC light pseudoscalar meson project

We discuss the current status of our calculation of the physics of pi and K mesons using three dynamical flavors of improved staggered quarks. This year, we have a new ensemble with a lattice spacing of 0.06 fm and a light sea mass of 0.2 m_s, as well as significant increases in statistics at several coarser lattice spacings and/or heavier sea masses. Results for decay constants, quark masses, low energy constants, condensates, and V_{us} are presented.

Low energy constants from the MILC Collaboration

Based on ongoing simulations, we update our results for low energy constants, decay constants, and light quark masses. The simulations employ three dynamical flavors of improved staggered quarks.

Update on the physics of light pseudoscalar mesons

We present an update of the MILC investigation of the properties of light pseudoscalar mesons using three flavors of improved staggered quarks. Results are presented for the $π$ and $K$ leptonic decay constants, the CKM matrix element $V_{us}$, the up, down and strange quark masses, and the coefficients of the $O(p^4)$ chiral lagrangian. We have new data for lattice spacing $a \approx 0.15$ fm with several values of the light quark mass down to one-tenth the strange quark mass, higher statistics for $a \approx 0.09$ fm with the light quark mass equal to one-tenth the strange quark mass, and initial results for our smallest lattice spacing, $a \approx 0.06$ fm with light quark mass two-fifths of the strange quark mass.

Predictions from Lattice QCD

In the past year, we calculated with lattice QCD three quantities that were unknown or poorly known. They are the $q^2$ dependence of the form factor in semileptonic $D\to Klν$ decay, the decay constant of the $D$ meson, and the mass of the $B_c$ meson. In this talk, we summarize these calculations, with emphasis on their (subsequent) confirmation by experiments.

Update on pi and K Physics

We present an update of the MILC studies of the physics of light pseudoscalars using improved staggered fermions. New runs at lighter quark mass, as well as increased statistics for older sets, are enabling us to improve the results for decay constants in full QCD. In addition, we have analyzed quenched runs at two different lattice spacings. This makes possible a test of the applicability of staggered chiral perturbation theory in a different context.

Charmed meson decay constants in three-flavor lattice QCD

We present the first lattice QCD calculation with realistic sea quark content of the D^+ meson decay constant f_{D^+}. We use the MILC Collaboration's publicly available ensembles of lattice gauge fields, which have a quark sea with two flavors (up and down) much lighter than a third (strange). We obtain f_{D^+} = 201 +/- 3 +/- 17 MeV, where the errors are statistical and a combination of systematic errors. We also obtain f_{D_s} = 249 +/- 3 +/- 16 MeV for the D_s meson.

Moments of Structure Functions in Full QCD

Moments of the quark density distribution, moments of the quark helicity distribution, and the tensor charge are calculated in full QCD. Calculations of matrix elements of operators from the operator product expansion have been performed on $16^3 \times 32$ lattices for Wilson fermions at $β= 5.6$ using configurations from the SESAM collaboration and at $β= 5.5$ using configurations from SCRI. One-loop perturbative renormalization corrections are included. Selected results are compared with corresponding quenched calculations and with calculations using cooled configurations.
