The nucleon mass in N_f=2 lattice QCD: finite size effects from chiral perturbation theory

In the framework of relativistic SU(2)_f baryon chiral perturbation theory we calculate the volume dependence of the nucleon mass up to and including O(p^4). Since the parameters in the resulting finite size formulae are fixed from the pion mass dependence of the large volume nucleon masses and from phenomenology, we obtain a parameter-free prediction of the finite size effects. We present mass data from the recent N_f=2 simulations of the UKQCD and QCDSF collaborations and compare these data as well as published mass values from the dynamical simulations of the CP-PACS and JLQCD collaborations with the theoretical expectations. Remarkable agreement between the lattice data and the predictions of chiral perturbation theory in a finite volume is found.

Structure functions and form factors close to the chiral limit from lattice QCD

Results for nucleon matrix elements (arising from moments of structure functions) and form factors from a mixture of runs using Wilson, clover and overlap fermions (both quenched and unquenched) are presented and compared in an effort to explore the size of the chiral `regime', lattice spacing errors and quenching artefacts. While no run covers this whole range of effects the partial results indicate a picture of small lattice spacing errors, small quenching effects and only reaching the chiral regime at rather light quark masses.

Non-perturbative renormalisation and improvement of the local vector current for quenched and unquenched Wilson fermions

By considering the local vector current between nucleon states and imposing charge conservation, we determine its renormalisation constant and quark mass improvement coefficient for Symanzik $O(a)$ improved Wilson fermions. The computation is first performed for quenched fermions (and for completeness also with unimproved fermions) and compared against known results. The two-flavour unquenched case is then considered.

Accelerating Hasenbusch's acceleration of Hybrid Monte Carlo

Hasenbusch has proposed splitting the pseudo-fermionic action into two parts, in order to speed-up Hybrid Monte Carlo simulations of QCD. We have tested a different splitting, also using clover-improved Wilson fermions. An additional speed-up between 5 and 20% over the original proposal was achieved in production runs.

Accelerating the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm

An algorithm for separating the high- and low-frequency molecular dynamics modes in Hybrid Monte Carlo simulations of gauge theories with dynamical fermions is presented. The separation is based on splitting the pseudo-fermion action into two parts, as was initially proposed by Hasenbusch. We propose to introduce different evolution time-scales for each part. We test our proposal in realistic simulations of two-flavor O(a) improved Wilson fermions. A speed-up of more than a factor of three compared to the standard HMC algorithm is observed in a typical run.

Finite Size Effects in Nucleon Masses in Dynamical QCD

For lattice calculations with light dynamical quarks, finite size effects have become an important aspect. We study finite size effects in nucleon masses on N_f=2 dynamical lattices of 1-2 fm. Predictions for the finite size effects are obtained in one-loop chiral perturbation theory.

A new method for Monte Carlo simulation of theories with Grassmann variables

A new algorithm for simulation of theories with dynamical fermions is presented. The algorithm is based on obtaining the new configuration U' from the old one U by solving the equation M(U')η= ωM(U)η, where M is fermionic operator, ηis random Gaussian vector, and ωis random real number close to unity. This algorithm can be used for acceleration of current simulations in theories with fermions.

A new way to deal with fermions in Monte Carlo simulations

An exact, nonlocal, finite step-size algorithm for Monte Carlo simulation of theories with dynamical fermions is proposed. The algorithm is based on obtaining the new configuration U' from the old one U by solving the equation $ M(U') η= ωM(U) η$, where $M$ is fermionic operator, $η$ is random Gaussian vector, and $ω$ is random real number close to unity. This algorithm can be used for the acceleration of current simulations in theories with Grassmann variables. A first test was done for SU(3) QCD with purely fermionic term in the action.

Noisy Monte Carlo Algorithm

We present an exact Monte Carlo algorithm designed to sample theories where the energy is a sum of many couplings of decreasing strength. The algorithm avoids the computation of almost all non-leading terms. Its use is illustrated by simulating SU(2) lattice gauge theory with a 5-loop improved action. A new approach for dynamical fermion simulations is proposed.

Noisy Monte Carlo revisited

We present an exact Monte Carlo algorithm designed to sample theories where the energy is a sum of many couplings of decreasing strength. Our algorithm, simplified from that of L. Lin et al. hep-lat/9905033, avoids the computation of almost all non-leading terms. We illustrate its use by simulating SU(2) lattice gauge theory with a 5-loop action, and discuss further applications to full QCD.
