  1. Lattice QCD and CLQCD Activities Ying Chen Institute of High Energy Physics, CAS Weihai, August 10, 2010

  2. Outline • Overview of lattice QCD • Selected latest physical results of LQCD Standard model parameters alpha_s current quark masses CKM matrix elements relevant Spectroscopy Nucleon structure Nuclear physics • CLQCD activities • Summary

  3. I. Overview of lattice QCD Lattice QCD: A path integral formalism of QCD on Euclidean spacetime Dynamical Calculation Otherwise, a unitary theory of full QCD on the lattice Observables: VEV of operators, such as Green’s functons. Monte Carlo simulation, importance sampling

  4. Sources of systematical uncertainties: • Pion masses are higher than the physical value • chiral extrapolation • Finite lattice spacing: continuum extrapolation • Finite volume effects.

  8. Lattice QCD Experiments Dynamical configurations Facilities Expensive Probe1 Probe2 ……… Detectors Fairly expensive Probes: valence quark propagators, etc., Manpower intensive Data analysis Data analysis Offline data analysis

  9. RBC-UKQCD Collaboration: • 2+1 Domain Wall Fermions (DMF) Advantage: chiral symmetry on the lattice

  10. MILC Collaboration: • 2+1 Staggered Fermions (Asqtad) Advantage: computationally cheap Disadvantage: the fourth-root-trick is controversial.

  11. 2+1 Wilson-type Fermions (Clover,etc.) Disadvantage: chiral symmetry can be restored only in the continuum limit.

  12. ETMC Collaboration: • nf=2 (2+1+1) Twisted Mass Fermions (Asqtad)

  13. II. Selected Latest Results of LQCD • Standard model parameters • alpha_s • current quark masses • CKM matrix elements relevant • Spectroscopy • Nucleon structure • Nuclear physics

  14. 1. Standard Model parameters • Strong coupling constant 3-loop PT expressions of these quantities. A set of short distance quantities, such as Wilson loops, which can be obtained From lattice QCD Convert to MS scheme, and then running to the M_Z scale.

  15. Quark masses

  16. For heavy quark masses, HPQCD proposes a new solution C. McNeile et al, arXiv:1004.4285

  17. Latest results of quark masses C. T. H. Davies et al. (HPQCD Collab.), arXiv:0910.3102[hep-ph]

  18. CKM matrix elements relevant CKM matrix and PDG number (Amsler2008) Lattice gold-plated processes which can be used to determine the CKM matrix elements

  19. Master equation: Decay constants, Form factors Decay constants: Which can be derived from the two-point function,

  20. Form factors

  21. Aubin et al 2005

  22. a) Latest results of f_pi and f_K E. E. Scholz, PoS(LAT2009)005

  23. b) Latest results of f_D and f_Ds Grey bands indicate the HPQCD results (Kronfeld 2010)

  24. c) Latest results of f_B and f_Bs

  25. d) Other lattice inputs to CKM Current status of lattice inputs to the global fit of the CKM unitarity triangle. These are obtained by averaging all available 2+1 flavor results documented in proceedings and publications that contain Complete error budgets, and account forcorrelations between different calculations in a conservative manner.

  26. 2. Hadron spectroscopy • Light hadron spectrum S. Aoki et al. (PACS-CS Collab.) Phys. Rev. D 79, 034503 (2009). S.Durr et al.(BMW Collab.), Science 322, 1224 (2008).

  27. Lattice predictions of heavy flavored hadrons

  28. Charmonium spectrum and hyperfine splitting 2+1 DMF sea and overlap valence (chiQCD preliminary)

  29. Rho resonance On the finite lattice,

  30. Pion-pion I=1, L=1 phase shift and BW fit (G. Shierholz, arXiv:0810.5337(hep-lat))

  31. 3. Summary • High precision for standard model parameters. • The spectrum of quite a few light hadrons can • be reproduced. • Further efforts desired for most of hadron • resonances. • Lattice calculation at the physical point is • expected in the following ten years.

  32. II. Lattice QCD in China

  33. 中国格点QCD合作组 (CLQCD) 研究人员: 马建平（ITP, CAS）刘 川（Peking Univ.) 刘玉斌(Nankai Univ.)张剑波(Zhejiang Univ.） 陈莹(IHEP, CAS) 研究生+ 博士后

  34. CLQCD 计算资源 1. 目前可用计算资源(？？？？？？？）： 深腾7000（中国科学院网络信息中心超级计算中心) 120TFLOPs 曙光5000（上海超级计算中心) 200 TFLOPs TOP500排15位, 2. 未来可用计算资源（？？？？？？？）： PETAFLOP机器——比如“天河1号”

  35. 在国际上排第五位

  36. CLQCD 的研究领域 1. 与BEPCII/BESIII的物理实验密切结合 轻强子性质 奇特强子态（如胶球、混杂态等） 粲夸克物理 • Charmonium radiative decays (quenched • and unquenshed) • D meson masses and decay constants 2. 有限温度有限密度QCD

  37. J/psi radiative decays to glueballs • QCD predicts the existence of glueballs • Quenched LQCD predicts glueball spectrum • Lowest-lying glueballs have masses in • the range 1~3GeV • Experimentally, f0(1370), f0(1500), • f0(1710),etc.,are glueball candidates, • but decisive conclusion cannot be drawn. • Due to its abundance of gluons, J/psi • radiative decay can be the best hunting • ground. • BESIII in Beijing is producing J/psi • events Y. Chen et al, Phys. Rev. D 73, 014516 (2006)

  38. Numerical details • Formalism The decay width of J/psi radiatively decaying to the scalar glueball can be derived from the formular where E1(0) is the on-shell form factor, which appears in the matrix elements (J.J. Dudek,hep-lat/0601137) With the vector current insertion , these Matrix elements can be calculated through the three point function,

  39. Lattice and parameters Anisotropic lattice: Strong coupling: • 5000 gauge configurations, separated by 100 HB sweeps • Charm quark mass is set by the physical mass of J/psi • On each configuration, 96 charm quark propagators are • calculated with point sources on all the 96 time slices. • The periodic boundary conditions are used both for the • spatial and temporal directions.

  40. The form factor and the decay width Polynomial fit: The branch ratio is

  41. Experimental results for J/psi radiatively decaying to scalars C. Amsler et al., Phy. Lett. B667, 1 (2008)

  42. The systematic uncertainties • The continuum extrapolation • has not been carried out. • (The same calculation on a • finer lattice is undergoing.) • The lattice vector current has not been renormalized. • (We are working on it.) • The uncertainty owing to the quenched approximation. • ( Cannot be resolved in the near future.) • The analyses of tensor channel and pseudoscalar are • under the way.
