Quenched spectroscopy with fixed-point and chirally improved fermions

We present results from quenched spectroscopy calculations with the parametrized fixed-point and the chirally improved Dirac operators. Both these operators are approximate solutions of the Ginsparg-Wilson equation and have good chiral properties. This allows us to work at small quark masses and we explore pseudoscalar-mass to vector-mass ratios down to 0.28. We discuss meson and baryon masses, their scaling properties, finite volume effects and compare our results with recent large scale simulations. We find that the size of quenching artifacts of the masses is strongly correlated with their experimentally observed widths and that the gauge and hadronic scales are consistent.

Quenched QCD with fixed-point and chirally improved fermion

In this contribution we present results from quenched QCD simulations with the parameterized fixed-point (FP) and the chirally improved (CI) Dirac operator. Both these operators are approximate solutions of the Ginsparg-Wilson equation and have good chiral properties. We focus our discussion on observables sensitive to chirality. In particular we explore pion masses down to 210 MeV in light hadron spectroscopy, quenched chiral logs, the pion decay constant and the pion scattering length. We discuss finite volume effects, scaling properties of the FP and CI operators and performance issues in their numerical implementation.

Light hadron spectroscopy in quenched lattice QCD with chiral Fixed-Point fermions

The classically perfect Fixed-Point fermion action for lattice QCD, a highly improved discretization of the continuum theory that preserves chiral symmetry, is constructed in this thesis and a parallel work by T. Jorg. In the framework of the BGR collaboration, we perform studies in quenched light hadron spectroscopy with this new action in order to examine its chiral and scaling properties and investigate in detail the chiral limit of pseudoscalar mesons. Topological finite-volume artifacts are identified and removed, and the coefficient of the quenched chiral logarithm is measured. The results show that the Fixed-Point action allows to simulate at quark masses corresponding to PS/V<0.3, has small scaling violations in hadron masses and reproduces the continuum energy-momentum dispersion relation very well.
