 2018-11-1916:53 [PUBDB-2018-04636] Report/Journal Article Schaefer, S. New extended interpolating fields built from three-dimensional fermions [DESY-18-091; arXiv:1807.08714] Physical review / D 98(9), 094506 (2018) [10.1103/PhysRevD.98.094506]   New extended interpolating operators made of quenched three dimensional fermions are introduced in the context of lattice QCD. The mass of the 3D fermions can be tuned in a controlled way to find a better overlap of the extended operators with the states of interest. [...] Restricted: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2018-11-0514:06 [PUBDB-2018-04147] Report/Journal Article et al Hadronic light-by-light scattering amplitudes from lattice QCD versus dispersive sum rules [MITP-17-088; DESY-17-202; arXiv:1712.00421] Physical review / D D 98(7), 074501 (2018) [10.1103/PhysRevD.98.074501]   The hadronic contribution to the eight forward amplitudes of light-by-light scattering ($\gamma^*\gamma^*\to \gamma^*\gamma^*$) is computed in lattice QCD. Via dispersive sum rules, the amplitudes are compared to a model of the $\gamma^*\gamma^*\to {\rm hadrons}$ cross sections in which the fusion process is described by hadronic resonances.

Results for the pseudoscalar masses and decay constants confirm that the produced ensemble is indeed at the physical parameters of the theory.

Theoretical and algorithmic improvements that allow such a calculation include momentum smearing to reach large nucleon boosts with reduced statistical errors, nonperturbative renormalization, target mass corrections, and a novel modified matching of lattice QCD results to connect to what is extracted from experimental measurements.

QCD thermodynamics from lattice calculations with nonequilibrium methods: The SU(3) equation of state [DESY-18-001; arXiv:1801.03110] Physical review / D 98(5), 054513 (2018) [10.1103/PhysRevD.98.054513]   A precise lattice determination of the equation of state in SU(3) Yang-Mills theory is carried out by means of a simulation algorithm, based on Jarzynski’s theorem, that allows one to compute physical quantities in thermodynamic equilibrium, by driving the field configurations of the system out of equilibrium. The physical results and the computational efficiency of the algorithm are compared with other state-of-the-art lattice calculations, and the extension to full QCD with dynamical fermions and to other observables is discussed.. OpenAccess: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2018-09-1810:53 [PUBDB-2018-03528] Preprint/Report et al How perturbative are heavy sea quarks? [DESY-18-134; HU-EP-18-28; WUB-18-03; arXiv:1809.03383]   Effects of heavy sea quarks on the low energy physics are described by an effective theory where the expansion parameter is the inverse quark mass, 1/$M$. At leading order in 1/$M$ the dependence of any low energy quantity on $M$ is given in terms of the ratio of $\Lambda$ parameters of the effective and the fundamental theory [...] OpenAccess: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2018-09-1010:22 [PUBDB-2018-03417] Report/Journal Article Schaefer, S. Testing the event-chain algorithm in asymptotically free models [arXiv:1806.11460] Physical review / D 98(5), 054502 (2018) [10.1103/PhysRevD.98.054502]   We apply the event-chain algorithm proposed by Bernard et al. in 2009 to toy models of lattice QCD.

Quantum computing of zeta-regularized vacuum expectation values [DESY-18-139; arXiv:1808.06784]   It has recently been shown that vacuum expectation values and Feynman path integrals can be regularized using Fourier Integral Operator $\zeta$-function, yet the physical meaning of these $\zeta$-regularized objects was unknown. Here we show that $\zeta$-regularized vacuum expectations appear as continuum limits using a certain discretization scheme.

This paper extends our previous work [1]. [...] OpenAccess: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2018-08-0709:19 [PUBDB-2018-02759] Preprint/Report Schaefer, S.
