Motivation • Little understanding of excited states from lattice calculations • Non-trivial test of QCD • Classification! • Role of chiral symmetry? • It‘s a challenge…

The lattice breaks chiral symmetry • Nogo theorem: Lattice fermions cannot have simultaneously: • Locality, chiral symmetry, continuum limit of fermion propagator • Original simple Wilson Dirac operator breaks the chiral symmetry badly: • Duplication of fermions, no chiral zero modes, spurious small eigenmodes (…problems to simulate small quark masses) • But: the lattice breaks chiral symmetry only locally • Ginsparg Wilson equation for lattice Dirac operators • Is related to non-linear realization of chiral symmetry (Lüscher) • Leads to chiral zero modes! • No problems with small quark masses

+ + = + GW-type Dirac operators • Overlap (Neuberger) • „Perfect“ (Hasenfratz et al.) • Domain Wall (Kaplan,…) • We use „Chirally Improved“ fermions This is a systematic (truncated) expansion Gattringer PRD 63 (2001) 114501 Gattringer /Hip/CBL., NP B697 (2001) 451 + . . . …obey the Ginsparg-Wilson relations approximately and have similar circular shaped Dirac operator spectrum (still some fluctuation!)
Quenched simulation environment • Lüscher-Weisz gauge action • Chirally improved fermions • Spatial lattice size 2.4 fm • Two lattice spacings, same volume: • 203x32 at a=0.12 fm • 163x32 at a=0.15 fm • (100 configs. each) • Two valence quark masses (mu=md varying, ms fixed) • Mesons and Baryons
Interpolators and propagator analysis Propagator: sum of exponential decay terms: excited states (smaller t) ground state (large t) Previous attempts: biased estimators (Bayesian analysis), maximum entropy,... Significant improvement: Variational analysis
Variational method (Michael Lüscher/Wolff) • Use several interpolators • Compute all cross-correlations • Solve the generalized eigenvalue problem • Analyse the eigenvalues • The eigenvectors are „fingerprints“ over t-ranges: For t>t0 the eigenvectors allow to trace the state composition from high to low quark masses • Allows to cleanly separate ghost contributions (cf. Burch et al.)
Interpolating fields (I) Inspired from heavy quark theory: Baryons: Mesons: • i.e., different Dirac structure of interpolating hadron fields….. (plus projection to parity)
Interpolating fields (II) However: are not sufficient to identify the Roper state …excited states have nodes! • → smeared quark sources • of different widths (n,w) • using combinations like: • nw nw, ww • nnn, nwn, nww etc.

Summary and outlook • Method works • Large set of basis operators • Non-trivial spatial structure • Ghosts cleanly separated • Applicable for dynamical quark configurations • Physics • Larger cutoff effects for excited states • Positive parity excited states: too high • Negative parity states quite good • Chiral limit seems to affect some states strongly • Further improvements • Further enlargement of basis, e.g. p-wave sources (talk by C. Hagen) and non-fermionic interpolators (mesons) • Studies at smaller quark mass
