Revisiting Scalar Glueballs, Hai-Yang Cheng, Chun-Khiang Chua, Keh-Fei Liu Nov 2015

Revisiting Scalar Glueballs, Hai-Yang Cheng, Chun-Khiang Chua, Keh-Fei Liu

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

It is commonly believed that the lowest-lying scalar glueball lies somewhere in the isosinglet scalar mesons f0(1370), f0(1500) and f0(1710) denoted generically by f0. In this work we consider lattice calculations and experimental data to infer the glue and qq components of f0. These include the calculations of the scalar glueball masses in quenched and unquenched lattice QCD, measurements of the radiative decays J/ψγf0, the ratio of f0 decays to ππ, KK and ηη, the ratio of J/ψ decays …


Spin Nematics, Valence-Bond Solids, And Spin Liquids In So(N) Quantum Spin Models On The Triangular Lattice, Ribhu K. Kaul Oct 2015

Spin Nematics, Valence-Bond Solids, And Spin Liquids In So(N) Quantum Spin Models On The Triangular Lattice, Ribhu K. Kaul

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We introduce a simple model of SO(N) spins with two-site interactions which is amenable to quantum Monte Carlo studies without a sign problem on nonbipartite lattices. We present numerical results for this model on the two-dimensional triangular lattice where we find evidence for a spin nematic at small N, a valence-bond solid at large N, and a quantum spin liquid at intermediate N. By the introduction of a sign-free four-site interaction, we uncover a rich phase diagram with evidence for both first-order and exotic continuous phase transitions.

Meson Mass Decomposition From Lattice Qcd, Yi-Bo Yang, Ying Chen, Terrence Draper, Ming Gong, Keh-Fei Liu, Zhaofeng Liu, Jian-Ping Ma

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

Hadron masses can be decomposed as a sum of quark and glue components that are defined through hadronic matrix elements of QCD operators. The components consist of the quark mass term, the quark energy term, the glue energy term, and the trace anomaly term. We calculate these components for mesons with lattice QCD for the first time. The calculation is carried out with overlap fermion on 2+1 flavor domain-wall fermion gauge configurations. We confirm that ~50% of the light pion mass comes from the quark mass term and ~10% comes from the quark energy; whereas, for the ρ meson, the …


Transitions To Valence-Bond Solid Order In A Honeycomb Lattice Antiferromagnet, Sumiran Pujari, Fabien Alet, Kedar Damle Mar 2015

Transitions To Valence-Bond Solid Order In A Honeycomb Lattice Antiferromagnet, Sumiran Pujari, Fabien Alet, Kedar Damle

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We use quantum Monte Carlo methods to study the ground-state phase diagram of a S=1/2 honeycomb lattice magnet in which a nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic exchange J (favoring Néel order) competes with two different multispin interaction terms: a six-spin interaction Q3 that favors columnar valence-bond solid (VBS) order, and a four-spin interaction Q2 that favors staggered VBS order. For Q3Q2J, we establish that the competition between the two different VBS orders stabilizes Néel order in a large swath of the phase diagram even when J is the smallest energy scale in the …

We report a complete calculation of the quark and glue momenta and angular momenta in the proton. These include the quark contributions from both the connected and disconnected insertions. The quark disconnected insertion loops are computed with Z4 noise, and the signal-to-noise ratio is improved with unbiased subtractions. The glue operator is comprised of gauge-field tensors constructed from the overlap operator. The calculation is carried out on a 163×24 quenched lattice at β=6.0 for Wilson fermions with κ=0.154, 0.155, and 0.1555, which correspond to pion masses at 650, 538, and 478 MeV, respectively. The chirally …
