Pion and $ρ$-meson form factors using four-point functions in N$_F$=2 QCD

Hadron wave functions and form factors can be extracted using four-point correlators. Stochastic techniques are used to estimate the all to all propagators, which are required for the exact calculation of four-point functions. We apply the so called one-end trick to evaluate meson four-point functions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique in the case of the pion and the $ρ$-meson where we extract their charge distribution, as well as the form factors.

QCD on the Cell Broadband Engine

We evaluate IBM's Enhanced Cell Broadband Engine (BE) as a possible building block of a new generation of lattice QCD machines. The Enhanced Cell BE will provide full support of double-precision floating-point arithmetics, including IEEE-compliant rounding. We have developed a performance model and applied it to relevant lattice QCD kernels. The performance estimates are supported by micro- and application-benchmarks that have been obtained on currently available Cell BE-based computers, such as IBM QS20 blades and PlayStation 3. The results are encouraging and show that this processor is an interesting option for lattice QCD applications. For a massively parallel machine on the basis of the Cell BE, an application-optimized network needs to be developed.

Determining QCD Low-Energy Couplings from lattice simulations

Different strategies for the computation of QCD low-energy couplings by matching lattice QCD with the chiral effective theory are reviewed. After recalling the main features of the chiral effective theory in the epsilon- and p- regimes, the current status of the determination of leading order (Sigma, F) and next-to-leading order (l_i, L_i) low-energy constants is summarised, focusing in particular on recent results obtained with N_f=2 and N_f=2+1 simulations.

O(a^2) cutoff effects in Wilson fermion simulations

We show that the size of the O(a^2) flavour violating cutoff artifacts that have been found to affect the value of the neutral pion mass in simulations with maximally twisted Wilson fermions is controlled by a continuum QCD quantity that is fairly large and is determined by the dynamical mechanism of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. One can argue that the neutral pion mass is the only physical quantity blurred by such cutoff effects. O(a^2) corrections of this kind are also present in standard Wilson fermion simulations, but they can either affect the determination of the pion mass or be shifted from the latter to other observables, depending on the way the critical mass is evaluated.

Using $K^0π^-\toπ^-$ transitions to compute $K\to(ππ)_{I=0}$ decay amplitudes at NLO in the chiral expansion

It is proposed to compute matrix elements for the (unphysical) $K^0π^-\to π^-$ transition to determine the next-to-leading order low energy constants of the weak chiral Lagrangian. This allows us to evaluate $K\to(ππ)_{I=0}$ decay amplitudes at this level of precision. This approach has several significant advantages over the use of $K\toππ$ transitions, most notably the elimination of s-channel disconnected diagrams and the use of fewer inversions.

Topological defects and equation of state of gluon plasma

We show that the degrees of freedom associated with magnetic monopole- and vortexlike gluonic configurations make a strong contribution to the anomaly of the energy-momentum tensor of Yang-Mills theory in the deconfinement phase immediately above the critical temperature. As is well known in zero-temperature Yang-Mills theory, the monopoles and vortices are constituents of a generic gluonic object in which the two neighbor monopoles are connected together by a segment of vortex string. Our results provide evidence that the monopole-vortex chains in SU(2) gauge theory and their SU(3) counterparts, the monopole-vortex nets, are thermodynamically relevant degrees of freedom in the gluonic plasma.

Localization of overlap modes and topological charge, vortices and monopoles in SU(3) LGT

We present selected recent results of the QCDSF collaboration on the localization and dimensionality of low overlap eigenmodes and of the topological density in the quenched SU(3) vacuum. We discuss the correlations between the topological structure revealed by overlap fermions without filtering and the confining monopole and P-vortex structure obtained in the Indirect Maximal Center Gauge.

The Polyakov Loop and the Eigenvalues of the Dirac Operator

Aiming at the link between confinement and chiral symmetry the Polyakov loop represented as a spectral sum of eigenvalues of the Dirac operator was subject of recent studies. We analyze the volume dependence as well as the continuum behavior of this quantity for quenched QCD using staggered fermions. Furthermore, we present first results using dynamical configurations.

Lattice simulation of 2+1 flavors of overlap light quarks

We report on the status of the dynamical overlap QCD simulation project by the JLQCD collaboration. After completing two-flavor QCD simulation on a 16^3x32 lattice at lattice spacing a 0.12 fm, we started a series of runs with 2+1 flavors. In this report, we describe an outline of our algorithms, parameter choices, and some early physics results of this second phase of our project.

Electromagnetic form factors of the Delta baryon

We develop a methodology that enables us to extract accurately the electromagnetic Delta form factors and their momentum dependence. We test our approach in the quenched approximation as a preparation for a study using dynamical fermions. Our calculation of the four form factors covers pion masses between about 410 MeV and 560 MeV on lattices with a size of 2.9 fm and a lattice spacing 0.09 fm. From the form factors we are able to obtain estimates of the magnetic moment and the charge radius of the Delta, which we compare to existing experimental and theoretical results.Our non-zero result for the electric quadrupole form factor signals a deformation of the Delta, pointing to an oblate charge distribution.

Exploring the QCD vacuum - (some) recent developments in confinement and topology

I start by giving a brief overview over new developments in the area of confinement and topology. As an example for the interrelations between topological objects, instantons at finite temperature are discussed. Then I focus on new insights into the structure of the QCD vacuum obtained through filtering methods, in particular those based on decompositions w.r.t. fermionic eigenmodes.

Charmonium properties in the quark-gluon plasma

We present results for charmonium correlators and spectral functions in 2-flavour CD on anisotropic lattices. Our results indicate that the S-waves (J/psi and eta_c) survive up to temperatures close to 2T_c, while the P-waves (chi_c0 and chi_c1) melt away below 1.2T_c.

Non-perturbative renormalisation of four-fermion operators in N_f=2 QCD

We present results for the non-perturbative renormalisation of four-fermion operators with two flavours of dynamical quarks. We consider both fully relativistic left current-left current operators, and a full basis for $ΔB=2$ operators with static heavy quarks. The renormalisation group running of the operators to high energy scales is computed in the continuum limit for a family of Schroedinger Functional renormalisation schemes, via standard finite size scaling techniques. The total renormalisation factors relating renormalisation group invariant to bare operators are computed for a choice of lattice regularisations.

A determination of the B_s^0 and B_d^0 mixing parameters in 2+1 lattice QCD

We report on the advances in our unquenched calculation of the matrix elements relevant for the analysis of B^0-\bar B^0 mixing using the Asqtad (light quark) and Fermilab (heavy quark) actions. We have calculated the hadronic parameters for the mass and width differences in the neutral B meson system. Preliminary results are presented for f_{B_q}^2 B_q as well as for the ratio ξ^2=f_{B_s}^2 B_{B_s}/f_{B_d}^2 B_{B_d}.
