Consistency Checks For Two-Body Finite-Volume Matrix Elements: Conserved Currents And Bound States, Raúl A. Briceño, Christopher J. Monahan
Consistency Checks For Two-Body Finite-Volume Matrix Elements: Conserved Currents And Bound States, Raúl A. Briceño, Christopher J. Monahan
Physics Faculty Publications
We present a model-independent framework to determine finite-volume corrections of matrix elements of spatially separated current-current operators. We define these matrix elements in terms of Compton-like amplitudes, i.e., amplitudes coupling single-particle states via two current insertions. We show that the infrared behavior of these matrix elements is dominated by the single-particle pole, which is approximated by the elastic form factors of the lowest-lying hadron. Therefore, given lattice data on the relevant elastic form factors, the finite-volume effects can be estimated nonperturbatively and without recourse to effective field theories. For illustration purposes, we investigate the implications of the proposed formalism for …

We present a simple scheme for solving relativistic integral equations for the partial-wave projected three-body amplitudes. Our techniques are used to solve a problem of three scalar particles with a formation of a S-wave two-body bound state. We rewrite the problem in a form suitable for numerical solution and then explore three solving strategies. In particular, we discuss different ways of incorporating the bound-state pole contribution in the integral equations. All of them lead to agreement with previous results obtained using finite-volume spectra of the same theory, providing further evidence of the validity of the existing finite- and infinite-volume formalism …

We present the first nonperturbatively renormalized determination of the glue momentum fraction ⟨x⟩g in the nucleon, based on lattice-QCD simulations at the physical pion mass using the cluster-decomposition error reduction technique. We provide the first practical strategy to renormalize the gauge energy-momentum tensor nonperturbatively in the regularization-independent momentum-subtraction (RI/MOM) scheme and convert the results to the MS¯ scheme with one-loop matching. The simulation results show that the cluster-decomposition error reduction technique can reduce the statistical uncertainty of its renormalization constant by a factor of O(300) in calculations using a typical state-of-the-art lattice volume, and the nonperturbatively …
Resonances From Lattice Qcd, Raúl A. Briceño
Resonances From Lattice Qcd, Raúl A. Briceño
Physics Faculty Publications
The spectrum of hadron is mainly composed as shortly-lived states (resonance) that decay onto two or more hadrons. These resonances play an important role in a variety of phenomenologically significant processes. In this talk, I give an overview on the present status of a rigorous program for studying of resonances and their properties using lattice QCD. I explain the formalism needed for extracting resonant amplitudes from the finite-volume spectra. From these one can extract the masses and widths of resonances. I present some recent examples that illustrate the power of these ideas. I then explain similar formalism that allows for …
Locality And Efficient Evaluation Of Lattice Composite Fields: Overlap-Based Gauge Operators, Andrei Alexandru, Ivan Horváth
Locality And Efficient Evaluation Of Lattice Composite Fields: Overlap-Based Gauge Operators, Andrei Alexandru, Ivan Horváth
Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications
We propose a novel general approach to locality of lattice composite fields, which in case of QCD involves locality in both quark and gauge degrees of freedom. The method is applied to gauge operators based on the overlap Dirac matrix elements, showing for the first time their local nature on realistic path-integral backgrounds. The framework entails a method for efficient evaluation of such nonultralocal operators, whose computational cost is volume independent at fixed accuracy, and only grows logarithmically as this accuracy approaches zero. This makes computation of useful operators, such as overlap-based topological density, practical. The key notion underlying these …
