Eigenvalues of the hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator and chiral properties of the domain-wall fermion

Chiral properties of QCD formulated with the domain-wall fermion (DWQCD) are studied using the anomalous quark mass m_{5q} and the spectrum of the 4-dimensional Wilson-Dirac operator. Numerical simulations are made with the standard plaquette gauge action and a renormalization-group improved gauge action. Results are reported on the density of zero eigenvalue obtained with the accumulation method, and a comparison is made with the results for m_{5q}.

Calculation of $K\to π$ matrix elements in quenched domain-wall QCD

We explore the possibility for an evaluation of non-leptonic $ΔS=1$ $K$ decay amplitudes through the calculation of $K\toπ$ matrix elements using domain-wall QCD. The relation between the physical $K\toππ$ matrix elements and $K\toπ$ matrix elements deduced from chiral perturbation theory is recapitulated. Quenched numerical simulations are performed on an $16^3\times 32\times 16$ lattice at a lattice spacing $a^{-1}\approx 2$GeV for both the standard plaquette gauge action and a renormalization-group improved gauge action, and reasonable signals for $K\toπ$ matrix elements are obtained. Preliminary results are reported on the $K\toππ$ matrix elements, and results from two actions are compared.

Kaon B parameter from quenched domain-wall QCD

We report on a calculation of $B_K$ with domain wall fermion action in quenched QCD. Simulations are made with a renormalization group improved gauge action at $β=2.6$ and 2.9 corresponding to $a^{-1}\approx 2$GeV and 3GeV. Effects due to finite fifth dimensional size $N_5$ and finite spatial size $N_σ$ are examined in detail. Matching to the continuum operator is made perturbatively at one loop order. We obtain $B_K(μ= 2 {GeV})= 0.5746(61)$, where the error is statistical only, as an estimate of the continuum value in the $\msbar$ scheme with naive dimensional regularization. This value is smaller but consistent with $B_K(μ= 2 {GeV})= 0.628(42)$ obtained by the JLQCD Collaboration using the Kogut-Susskind quark action. Results for strange quark mass are also reported.

B^0-\bar{B}^0 mixing with quenched lattice NRQCD

We present our recent results for the B-parameters, which parameterize the ΔB=2 transition amplitudes. Calculations are made in quenched QCD at β=5.7, 5.9, and 6.1, using NRQCD for heavy quark and the $O(a)$-improved action for light quark. The operators are perturbatively renormalized including corrections of O(α_s/am_Q). We examine scaling behavior of the B-parameters in detail, and discuss the systematic uncertainties using scatter of results with different analysis procedures adopted. As a result, we find B_{B_d}(m_b)=0.84(2)(8), B_{B_s}/B_{B_d}=1.017(10)(^{+4}_{-0}) and B_{S_s}(m_b)=0.87(1)(9)(^{+1}_{-0}) in the quenched approximation.

Quenched charmonium spectrum on anisotropic lattices

We present the results of quenched charmonium spectrum for S- and P-states, obtained by a relativistic heavy quark method on anisotropic lattices. Simulations are carried out using the standard plaquette gauge action and a meanfield-improved clover quark action at $a_t^{-1} = 3$--6 GeV with the renormalized anisotropy fixed to $ξ\equiv a_s/a_t =3$. We study the scaling of our fine and hyperfine mass splittings, and compare with previous results.

Full QCD Light Hadron Spectrum and Quark Masses: Final Results from CP-PACS

We present the final results of the CP-PACS calculation of the light hadron spectrum and quark masses with two flavors of dynamical quarks. Simulations are made with a renormalization-group improved gauge action and a mean-field improved clover quark action for sea quark masses corresponding to $m_{\rm PS}/m_{\rm V} \approx 0.8$--0.6 and the lattice spacing $a=0.22$--0.11 fm. For the meson spectrum in the continuum limit a clearly improved agreement with experiment is observed compared to the quenched case, demonstrating the importance of sea quark effects. For light quark masses we obtain $m_{ud}^{\bar{MS}}(2GeV)=3.44^{+0.14}_{-0.22}$ MeV and $m_s^{\bar{MS}}(2GeV)=88^{+4}_{-6}$ MeV ($K$-input) and $m_s^{\bar{MS}}(2GeV)=90^{+5}_{-11}$ MeV ($ϕ$-input), which are reduced by about 25% compared to the values in quenched QCD.

Light hadron spectroscopy with two flavors of O(a) improved dynamical quarks

We report on our study of light hadron spectrum and quark masses in QCD with two flavors of dynamical quarks. Simulations are made with the plaquette gauge action and the non-perturbatively $O(a)$ improved Wilson quark action. We simulate 5 sea qaurk masses corresponding to $m_{PS}/m_{V} \simeq 0.8$--0.6 at $β=5.2$ on $12^3 \times 48$, $16^3 \times 48$ and $20^3 \times 48$ lattices. A comparison with previous calculations in quenched QCD indicates sea quark effects in meson and quark masses.

Perturbative renormalization of the $ΔB=2$ four-quark operators in lattice NRQCD

We present a perturbative calculation of the renormalization constants for the $ΔB=2$ four-quark operators, which is needed to evaluate the bag parameters $B_B$ and $B_S$ in lattice QCD. The one-loop coefficients are calculated for the $O(1/M)$ NRQCD heavy quark action and the $O(a)$-improved Wilson action for light quark. Using these coefficients, which remove $O(α_s/aM)$ error, we reanalyze our previous calculation of the bag parameters.

Sea Quark Effects on Quarkonia

We study the effects of two dynamical sea quarks on the spectrum of heavy quarkonia. Within the non-relativistic approach to Lattice QCD we found sizeable changes to the hyperfine splitting, but we could not observe any changes for the fine structure. We also investigated the scaling behaviour of our results for several different lattice spacings.

Decay constants of B and D mesons from improved relativistic lattice QCD with two flavours of sea quarks

We present a calculation of the B and D meson decay constants in lattice QCD with two (Nf=2) flavours of light dynamical quarks, using an O(a)-improved Wilson action for both light and heavy quarks and a renormalization-group improved gauge action. Simulations are made at three values of lattice spacing a=0.22, 0.16, 0.11 fm and four values of sea quark mass in the range m_PS/m_V \~= 0.8-0.6. Our estimate for the continuum values of the decay constants are fBd = 208(10)(11) MeV, fBs = 250(10)(13)(^{+8}_{-0}) MeV, fDd = 225(14)(14) MeV, fDs = 267(13)(17)(^{+10}_{-0}) MeV for Nf=2 where the statistical and systematic errors are separately listed, and the third error for fBs and fDs show uncertainty of determination of strange quark mass. We also carry out a set of quenched simulations using the same action to make a direct examination of sea quark effects. Taking the ratio of results for Nf=2 and Nf=0, we obtain fb^{Nf=2}/fb^{Nf=0} = 1.11(6), fbs^{Nf=2}/fbs^{Nf=0} = 1.14(5), fd^{Nf=2}/\fd^{Nf=0} = 1.03(6), fds^{Nf=2}/\fds^{Nf=0} = 1.07(5). They show a 10-15% increase in the Nf=2 results over those of Nf=0 for the B meson decay constants, while evidence for such a trend is statistically less clear for the D meson decay constants.

Dynamical Quark Effects on Light Quark Masses

We present results for light quark masses from a systematic lattice QCD study with two degenerate flavors of dynamical quarks. Simulations are made with a renormalization-group improved gauge action and a mean-field improved clover quark action for sea quark masses corresponding to $m_{\rm PS}/m_{\rm V} \approx 0.8$--0.6 and the lattice spacing $a=0.22$--0.11 fm. In the continuum limit we find $m_{ud}^{\bar{MS}}(2 {\rm GeV})=3.44^{+0.14}_{-0.22}$ MeV using the $π$ and $ρ$ meson masses as physical input, and $m_s^{\bar{MS}}(2 {\rm GeV})=88^{+4}_{-6}$ MeV or $90^{+5}_{-11}$ MeV with the $K$ or $ϕ$ meson mass as additional input. The quoted errors represent statistical and systematic combined, the latter including those from continuum and chiral extrapolations, and from renormalization factors. Compared to quenched results, two flavors of dynamical quarks reduce quark masses by about 25%.

Chiral properties of domain-wall quarks in quenched QCD

We investigate the chiral properties of quenched domain-wall QCD (DWQCD) at the lattice spacings $a^{-1} \simeq 1$ and 2 GeV for both plaquette and renormalization-group (RG) improved gauge actions. In the case of the plaquette action we find that the quark mass defined through the axial Ward-Takahashi identity remains non-vanishing in the DWQCD chiral limit that the bare quark mass $m_f\to 0$ and the length of the fifth dimension $N_s\to\infty$, indicating that chiral symmetry is not realized with quenched DWQCD up to $a^{-1} \simeq 2$ GeV. The behavior is much improved for the RG-improved gauge action: while a non-vanishing quark mass remains in the chiral limit at $a^{-1}\simeq 1$ GeV, the result at $a^{-1}\simeq 2$ GeV is consistent with an exponentially vanishing quark mass in the DWQCD chiral limit, indicating the realization of exact chiral symmetry. An interpretation and implications are briefly discussed.

Renormalization of the ΔB=2 four-quark operators in lattice NRQCD

We calculate perturbative renormalization constants for the ΔB=2 four-quark operators in lattice NRQCD. Continuum operators \bar{b}γ_μ(1-γ_5)q~ \bar{b}γ_μ(1-γ_5)q and \bar{b}(1-γ_5)q~\bar{b}(1-γ_5)q, which are necessary in evaluating the mass and width differences in $B^0_{d(s)}-\bar{B}^0_{d(s)}$ systems, are matched at one-loop with corresponding lattice operators constructed from the NRQCD heavy quarks and the ${\cal O}(a)$-improved light quarks. Using these perturbative coefficients, we also reanalyse our previous simulation results for the matrix elements of the above operators. Our new results are free from the systematic error of ${\cal O}(α_s/(aM_b))$ in contrast to the previous ones with matching coefficients evaluated in the static limit.

Width difference in the $B_s$-$\bar{B}_s$ system with lattice NRQCD

We compute the matrix element of the four-quark operator $\Op_S$ = $\bar{b}(1-γ_5) s \bar{b} (1-γ_5) s$ in the $B_s-\bar{B}_s$ mixing on the lattice using NRQCD, which gives a leading contribution in the calculation of the width difference $ΔΓ_s$ in the $1/m_b$ expansion. Using the next-to-leading formula of Beneke \textit{et al.}, we obtain $(ΔΓ/Γ)_s$ = 0.151(37)(36)(17), where the the first error reflects the uncertainty of $f_{B_s}$ = 245(30) MeV, the second error comes from our calculation of the matrix element of $\Op_S$, and the third represents unknown $1/m_b$ correction.

Pion decay constant for the Kogut-Susskind quark action in quenched lattice QCD

We present a study for the pion decay constant $f_π$ in the quenched approximation to lattice QCD with the Kogut-Susskind (KS) quark action, with the emphasis given to the renormalization problems. Numerical simulations are carried out at the couplings $β= 6.0$ and 6.2 on $32^3\times 64$ and $48^3\times 64$ lattices, respectively. The pion decay constant is evaluated for all KS flavors via gauge invariant and non-invariant axial vector currents with the renormalization constants calculated by both non-perturbative method and perturbation theory. We obtain $f_π= 89(6)$ MeV in the continuum limit as the best value using the partially conserved axial vector current, which requires no renormalization. From a study for the other KS flavors we find that the results obtained with the non-perturbative renormalization constants are well convergent among the KS flavors in the continuum limit, confirming restoration of $\rm SU(4)_A$ flavor symmetry, while perturbative renormalization still leaves an apparent flavor breaking effect even in the continuum limit.

$B \to πl\barν$ Form Factors with NRQCD Heavy Quark and Clover Light Quark Actions

We report results on semileptonic $B\toπl\barν$ decay form factors near $q^2_{\rm max}$ using NRQCD heavy quark and clover light quark actions and currents improved through $O(αa)$. An inconsistency with the soft pion relation $f^0(q^2_{\rm max})= f_B/f_π$ found in a previous work is confirmed, and a possible solution with nonperturbative renormalization is discussed. We find that $f^+(q^2)$ is well described by the $B^*$ pole near $q^2_{\rm max}$, and its $1/M_B$ scaling is also consistent with the prediction of the pole dominance model.

Nucleon Decay Matrix Elements from Lattice QCD

We present a model-independent calculation of hadron matrix elements for all dimension-six operators associated with baryon number violating processes using lattice QCD. The calculation is performed with the Wilson quark action in the quenched approximation at $β=6/g^2=6.0$ on a $28^2\times 48\times 80$ lattice. Our results cover all the matrix elements required to estimate the partial lifetimes of (proton,neutron)$\to$($π,K,η$) +(${\bar ν},e^+,μ^+$) decay modes. We point out the necessity of disentangling two form factors that contribute to the matrix element; previous calculations did not make the separation, which led to an underestimate of the physical matrix elements. With a correct separation, we find that the matrix elements have values 3-5 times larger than the smallest estimates employed in phenomenological analyses of the nucleon decays, which could give strong constraints on several GUT models. We also find that the values of the matrix elements are comparable with the tree-level predictions of chiral lagrangian.
