Abstract

By using a single formalism to handle charm, strange, and light valence quarks in full lattice QCD for the first time, we are able to determine ratios of quark masses to 1%. For m{sub c}/m{sub s} we obtain 11.85(16), an order of magnitude more precise than the current PDG average. Combined with 1% determinations of the charm quark mass now possible this gives m{sub s}(2 GeV)=92.4(1.5) MeV. The MILC result for m{sub s}/m{sub l}=27.2(3) yields m{sub l}(2 GeV)=3.40(7) MeV for the average of u and d quark masses.

High-precision determination of the light-quark masses from realistic lattice QCD

Journal Article Mason, Quentin ; Horgan, Ron ; Trottier, Howard D ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Three-flavor lattice QCD simulations and two-loop perturbation theory are used to make the most precise determination to date of the strange-, up-, and down-quark masses, m{sub s}, m{sub u}, and m{sub d}, respectively. Perturbative matching is required in order to connect the lattice-regularized bare-quark masses to the masses as defined in the MS scheme, and this is done here for the first time at next-to-next-to leading (or two-loop) order. The bare-quark masses required as input come from simulations by the MILC collaboration using so-called staggered quarks, with three flavors of light quarks in the Dirac sea; these simulations were previouslymore »« less

Charm quark system at the physical point of 2+1 flavor lattice QCD

We investigate the charm quark system using the relativistic heavy quark action on 2+1 flavor PACS-CS configurations previously generated on 32{sup 3} x 64 lattice. The dynamical up, down, and strange quark masses are set to the physical values by using the technique of reweighting to shift the quark-hopping parameters from the values employed in the configuration generation. At the physical point, the lattice spacing equals a{sup -1} = 2.194(10) GeV and the spatial extent L = 2.88(1) fm. The charm quark mass is determined by the spin-averaged mass of the 1S charmonium state, from which we obtain m{sub charm}{supmore »« less

Charmed and light pseudoscalar meson decay constants from four-flavor lattice QCD with physical light quarks

Journal Article Bazavov, A. ; Bernard, C. ; Komijani, J. ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

We compute the leptonic decay constants f _D+, f _Ds , and f _K+, and the quark-mass ratios m _c=m _s and m _s=m _l in unquenched lattice QCD using the experimentally determined value of f _π+ for normalization. We use the MILC Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) ensembles with four dynamical quark flavors -- up, down, strange, and charm -- and with both physical and unphysical values of the light sea-quark masses. The use of physical pions removes the need for a chiral extrapolation, thereby eliminating a significant source of uncertainty in previous calculations.
