Particle theory

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.
