QCD forces and heavy quark bound states

GS Bali - Physics Reports, 2001 - Elsevier
The present knowledge of QCD confining forces between static test charges is summarised,
with an emphasis on lattice results. Recent developments in relating QCD potentials to …

QCD and strongly coupled gauge theories: challenges and perspectives

N Brambilla, S Eidelman, P Foka, S Gardner… - The European Physical …, 2014 - Springer
We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

[BOOK][B] Lattice gauge theories: an introduction

HJ Rothe - 2012 - library.oapen.org
This book provides a broad introduction to gauge field theories formulated on a space-time
lattice, and in particular of QCD. It serves as a textbook for advanced graduate students, and …

The QCD equation of state with dynamical quarks

S Borsanyi, G Endrődi, Z Fodor, A Jakovac… - Journal of High Energy …, 2010 - Springer
The present paper concludes our investigation on the QCD equation of state with 2+ 1
staggered flavors and one-link stout improvement. We extend our previous study [JHEP 01 …

A new way to set the energy scale in lattice gauge theories and its application to the static force and σs in SU (2) Yang-Mills theory

R Sommer - Nuclear Physics B, 1994 - Elsevier
We introduce a hadronic scale R 0 through the force F (r) between static quarks at
intermediate distances r. The definition F (R 0) R 0 2= 1.65 amounts to R 0≅ 0.5 fm in …

Analytic smearing of link variables in lattice QCD

C Morningstar, M Peardon - Physical Review D, 2004 - APS
An analytic method of smearing link variables in lattice QCD is proposed and tested. The
differentiability of the smearing scheme with respect to the link variables permits the use of …

Flavor symmetry and the static potential with hypercubic blocking

A Hasenfratz, F Knechtli - Physical Review D, 2001 - APS
We introduce a new smearing transformation, the hypercubic (HYP) fat link. The hypercubic
fat link mixes gauge links within hypercubes attached to the original link only. Using …

Complete flavor decomposition of the spin and momentum fraction of the proton using lattice QCD simulations at physical pion mass

C Alexandrou, S Bacchio, M Constantinou… - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We evaluate the gluon and quark contributions to the spin of the proton using an ensemble
of gauge configurations generated at physical pion mass. We compute all valence and sea …

Unpolarized and helicity generalized parton distributions of the proton within lattice QCD

C Alexandrou, K Cichy, M Constantinou… - Physical review …, 2020 - APS
We present the first calculation of the x dependence of the proton generalized parton
distributions (GPDs) within lattice QCD. Results are obtained for the isovector unpolarized …

On the generalized eigenvalue method for energies and matrix elements in lattice field theory

B Blossier, M Della Morte, G von Hippel… - Journal of High …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We discuss the generalized eigenvalue problem for computing energies and matrix
elements in lattice gauge theory, including effective theories such as HQET. It is analyzed …
