Abstract:

We describe a recent calculation of the hadron spectrum with two flavors of staggered dynamical quarks with a gauge coupling 6/g2 = 5.60 and quark masses of 0.025 and 0.01. The gauge fields were generated using the hybrid algorithm on a 124 lattice that was doubled or quadrupled to calculate hadron propagators. © 1990.

Abstract:

We present preliminary results on hadronic spectrum measurements by the High Energy Monte Carlo Grand Challenge (HEMCGC) collaboration. The simulation, on a 124 lattice, uses the hybrid molecular dynamics algorithm with two flavors of staggered fermions at two quark mass values and 6/g2 = 5.6. This measurement uses Wilson valence quarks at three values of the hopping parameter on a lattice that is doubled in the time direction. Our work allows a comparative study of these two types of lattice fermions at the parameters used, and provides a check on whether the continuum limit has been reached. The results exhibit the correct trends as the chiral limit is approached. © 1990.

Abstract:

We have carried out a simulation of quantum chromodynamics using the hybrid-molecular-dynamics algorithm with two flavors of Kogut-Susskind quarks. We have used Kogut-Susskind and Wilson valence quarks to calculate the hadron mass spectrum. Among our extensive results we discuss baryon hyperfine splitting, the nucleon-to- mass ratio, the sclar-to-tensor-glueball mass ratio, and the quantization and susceptibility of the topological charge. We have used a gauge coupling of 6/g2=5.60, and quark masses amq=0.025 and 0.01, in generating gauge configurations on 124, 123×24, and 164 lattices. © 1990 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

Lattice operators that correspond to the continuum topological charge density are, as is well known, dominated by fluctuations on the length scale of the ultraviolet cut-off and this completely obscures the pattern of topological fluctuations on physical length scales. In this paper we propose and test methods which are designed to reveal the underlying topological structure of any given Monte Carlo generated lattice field configuration. © 1989.
