B meson leptonic decay constant with quenched lattice NRQCD

We present a lattice NRQCD study of the B meson decay constant in the quenched approximation with emphasis given to the scaling behavior. The NRQCD action and the heavy-light axial current we use include all terms of order 1/M and the perturbative $O(α_s a)$ and $O(α_s/M)$ corrections. Using simulations at three value of couplings $β$=5.7, 5.9 and 6.1 on lattices of size $12^3\times 32, 16^3\times 48$ and $24^3\times 64$, we find no significant $a$ dependence in $f_B$ if the $O(α_s a)$ correction is included in the axial current. We obtain $f_B = 167(7)(15)$ MeV, $f_{B_s}= 191(4)(17)(^{+4}_{-0})$ MeV and $f_{B_s}/f_B =1.15(3)(1)(^{+3}_{-0})$, with the first error being statistical, the second systematic, and the third due to uncertainty of strange quark mass, while quenching errors being not included.

Non-perturbative determination of quark masses in quenched lattice QCD with the Kogut-Susskind fermion action

We report results of quark masses in quenched lattice QCD with the Kogut-Susskind fermion action, employing the Reguralization Independent scheme (RI) of Martinelli et al. to non-perturbatively evaluate the renormalization factor relating the bare quark mass on the lattice to that in the continuum. Calculations are carried out at β=6.0, 6.2, and 6.4, from which we find $m^{\bar{MS}}_{ud} (2 GeV)= 4.23(29) MeV$ for the average up and down quark mass and, with the $ϕ$ meson mass as input, $m^{\bar{MS}}_{s} (2 GeV)= 129(12) MeV$ for the strange mass in the continuum limit. These values are about 20% larger than those obtained with the one-loop perturbative renormalization factor.

Preliminary study of $B_B$ parameter using Lattice NRQCD

We present the preliminary result of the calculation of $B_B$ parameter using lattice NRQCD. The calculation is performed on a $16^3 \times 48$ quenched lattice at $β=5.9$ with clover light quark. The use of lattice NRQCD enables us to investigate the $1/m_Q$ correction from the static limit. The observed mass dependence is well described by the vacuum saturation.

Hadron matrix elements for nucleon decay with the Wilson quark action

We report preliminary results of our study of matrix elements of baryon number violating operators which appear in the low-energy effective Lagrangian of (SUSY-)Grand Unified Theories. The calculation is performed on a $32^{3}\times80$ lattice at $β=6.1$ using Wilson fermions in the quenched approximation. Our calculation is independent of details of (SUSY-)GUT models and covers all interesting decay modes.

Scaling behavior of $f_{B}$ with NRQCD

We investigate the scaling behavior of the $B$ meson decay constant $f_B$ and $f_{B_{s}}$ at $β$$=$$5.7, 5.9, 6.1$, employing the NRQCD heavy quark action and the clover light quark action. Mixing effect from dimension-4 operator in the heavy-light axial-vector current is studied, and we find that the $a$ dependence of $f_B$ is significantly reduced. Our preliminary result for the decay constants in the quenched approximation is $f_{B}$$=$$162(^{+35}_{-18})$ MeV, $f_{B_{s}}$$=$$190(^{+40}_{-19})$ MeV, and $f_{B_{s}}/f_{B}$$=$$1.18(^{+6}_{-6})$.

Non-perturbative renormalization factors of bilinear quark operators for Kogut-Susskind fermions and light quark masses in quenched QCD

Light quark masses are computed for Kogut-Susskind fermions by evaluating non-perturbatively the renormalization factor for bilinear quark operators. Calculations are carried out in the quenched approximation at β=6.0, 6.2, and 6.4. For the average up and down quark mass we find $m_{\bar MS}(2 GeV)= 4.15(27) MeV$ in the continuum limit, which is significantly larger than $3.51(20) MeV$ ($q^*=1/a$) or $3.40(21) MeV$ ($q^*=π/a$) obtained with the one-loop perturbative renormalization factor.

Phase structure of lattice QCD at finite temperature for 2+1 flavors of Kogut-Susskind quarks

We report on a study of the finite-temperature chiral transition on an $N_t=4$ lattice for 2+1 flavors of Kogut-Susskind quarks. We find the point of physical quark masses to lie in the region of crossover, in agreement with results of previous studies. Results of a detailed examination of the $m_{u,d}=m_s$ case indicate vanishing of the screening mass of $σ$ meson at the end point of the first-order transition.

Heavy quark mass dependence of semileptonic form factors for B decays

We present our study of the dependence of the heavy-to-light semileptonic B decay form factors on the heavy-light meson mass $M_{PS}$. Simulations are made over a range of the heavy quark mass covering both the charm and bottom quarks using the $O(a)$-improved clover action at $β=5.9$ on a $16^3\times 40$ and $24^3\times 64$ lattice. We find that a weak dependence of form factors on $M_{PS}$ observed in previous studies in the region of charm quark persists up to the region of$b$ quark. The soft pion relation $f^0(q^2_{max})=f_B/f_π$ is examined and found to be largely violated.

Chiral perturbation theory, finite size effects and the three-dimensional $XY$ model

We study finite size effects of the d=3 $XY$ model in terms of the chiral perturbation theory. We calculate by Monte Carlo simulations physical quantities which are, to order of $(1/L)^2$, uniquely determined only by two low energy constants. They are the magnetization and the helicity modulus (or the Goldstone boson decay constant) in infinite volume. We also pay a special attention to the region of the validity of the two possible expansions in the theory.

Phase structure of the Higgs-Yukawa systems with chirally invariant lattice fermion actions

We develop analytical technique for examining phase structure of $Z_2$, $U(1)$, and $SU(2)$ lattice Higgs-Yukawa systems with radially frozen Higgs fields and chirally invariant lattice fermion actions. The method is based on variational mean field approximation. We analyse phase diagrams of such systems with different forms of lattice fermion actions and demonstrate that it crucially depends both on the symmetry group and on the form of the action. We discuss location in the diagrams of possible non-trivial fixed points relevant to continuum physics, and argue that the candidates can exist only in $Z_2$ system with SLAC action and $U(1)$ systems with naive and SLAC actions. [Note: By a product, missing term in Eq. (3.5) of hep-lat/9309010 is reconstructed, that, however, affects only the result of Sect. 4.3 (Fig. 3) of that reference (cf. Fig. 2(c) of this paper).]
