 2018-07-1810:32 [PUBDB-2018-02633] Report/Journal Article et al A non-perturbative exploration of the high energy regime in $N_{\mathrm{f}}=3$ QCD [CERN-TH-2018-060, DESY 18-044, WUB/18-01, arXiv:1803.10230]   Using continuum extrapolated lattice data we trace a family of running couplings in three-flavour QCD over a large range of scales from about 4 to 128 GeV. The scale is set by the finite space time volume so that recursive finite size techniques can be applied, and Schrödinger functional (SF) boundary conditions enable direct simulations in the chiral limit. [...] OpenAccess: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2018-07-1309:12 [PUBDB-2018-02595] Preprint/Report Schaefer, S. Testing the event-chain algorithm in asymptotically free models [DESY-18-090; arXiv:1806.11460] We apply the event-chain algorithm proposed by Bernard, Krauth and Wilson in 2009 to toy models of lattice QCD. We give a formal prove of stability of the algorithm. [...] 2018-06-1110:41 [PUBDB-2018-02237] Preprint/Report Sommer, R. Large $N$ scaling and factorization in SU($N$) Yang-Mills gauge theory [DESY-18-075; arXiv:1805.11070] The large $N$ limit of SU($N$) gauge theories is well understood in perturbation theory. Also non-perturbative lattice studies have yielded important positive evidence that t Hoofts predictions are valid. [...] Restricted: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2018-05-2812:31 [PUBDB-2018-02116] Preprint/Report et al Symanzik Improvement with Dynamical Charm: A 3+1 Scheme for Wilson Quarks [CERN-TH-2018-084; arXiv:1805.01661; DESY-18-058; HU-EP-18-10]   We discuss the problem of lattice artefacts in QCD simulations enhanced by the introduction of dynamical charmed quarks. In particular, we advocate the use of a massive renormalization scheme with a close to realistic charm mass.

Two main approaches exist to determine PDFs. [...] Published on 2018-01-31.

The model has crystalline confined phases with spontaneously broken translation invariance associated with pinwheel order, which is investigated with either a Metropolis or an efficient cluster algorithm [...] OpenAccess: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2018-05-2310:56 [PUBDB-2018-02052] Report/Journal Article et al Strange nucleon electromagnetic form factors from lattice QCD [arXiv:1801.09581] Physical review / D 97(9), 094504 (2018) [10.1103/PhysRevD.97.094504]   We evaluate the strange nucleon electromagnetic form factors using an ensemble of gauge configurations generated with two degenerate maximally twisted mass clover-improved fermions with mass tuned to approximately reproduce the physical pion mass. In addition, we present results for the disconnected light quark contributions to the nucleon electromagnetic form factors [...] OpenAccess: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2018-05-2214:40 [PUBDB-2018-02032] Report/Journal Article et al SO(3) "Nuclear Physics" with ultracold Gases [arXiv:1802.00022] Annals of physics 393, 466 - 483 (2018) [10.1016/j.aop.2018.03.020]   An ab initio calculation of nuclear physics from Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the fundamental $SU(3)$ gauge theory of the strong interaction, remains an outstanding challenge. Here, we discuss the emergence of key elements of nuclear physics using an $SO(3)$ lattice gauge theory as a toy model for QCD. [...] Published on 2018-04-05.

We employ both hexaquark and two-baryon interpolating operators to isolate the ground state in the rest frame and in moving frames.

We use ensembles with dynamical light, strange and charm flavors of maximally twisted mass fermions. [...] OpenAccess: PDF PDF (PDFA);
