Lattice QCD(INTRODUCTION) DUBNA WINTER SCHOOL 1-2 FEBRUARY 2005
Main Problems Starting from Lagrangian (1) obtain hadron spectrum, (2) describe phase transitions, (3) explain confinement of color http://www.claymath.org/Millennium_Prize_Problems/
The main difficulty is the absence of analytical methods, the interactions are strong and only computer simulations give results starting from the first principles. The force between quark and antiquark is 12 tones
Methods • Imaginary time t→it • Space-time discretization • Thus we get from functional integral the statistical theory in four dimensions
The statistical theory in four dimensions can be simulated by Monte-Carlo methods • The typical multiplicities of integrals are 106-108 • We have to invert matrices 106 x 106 • The cost of simulation of one configuration is:
Three limits Lattice spacing Lattice size Quark mass Typical values now Extrapolation + Chiral perturbation theory
Chiral limit Quark masses Pion mass Exp
Nucleon mass extrapolation Fit on the base of the chiral perturbation theory
Earth Simulator • Based on the NEC SX architecture, 640 nodes, each node with 8 vector processors (8 Gflop/s peak per processor), 2 ns cycle time, 16GB shared memory. – Total of 5104 total processors, 40 TFlop/s peak, and 10TB memory. • It has a single stage crossbar (1800 miles of cable) 83,000 copper cables, 16 GB/s cross section bandwidth. • 700 TB disk space, 1.6 PB mass store • Area of computer = 4 tennis courts, 3 floors

Simulations • We study QCD with two flavors of non-perturbatively improved Wilson fermions at zero and finite temperature on • 163·8, 243·10 and 243·48 lattices. • Lattice spacings a~0.12 fm • Quark masses mq~100 Mev • Temperatures 0.8<T/Tc<1.28 and T=0. • Abelian variables!

Baryon action densityat T=0Y-shape of the string is clearly seen
Mass of material objects is due to gluon fields inside baryon
Y or Delta ? • The baryon action density has a bump in the center, while the superposition of ½ meson flux tubes has a dip • The similar results were also obtained for the Potts model (C. Alexandrou, Ph. de Forcrand and O. Jahn, 2003 )
