Abstract

The penta-quark(5Q) baryon is studied in anisotropic quenched lattice QCD with renormalized anisotropy a_s/a_t=4 for a high-precision mass measurement. The standard Wilson action at beta=5.75 and the O(a) improved Wilson quark action with kappa=0.1210(0.0010)0.1240 are employed on a 12^3 \times 96 lattice. Contribution of excited states is suppressed by using a smeared source. We investigate both the positive- and negative-parity 5Q baryons with I=0 and spin J=1/2 using a non-NK-type interpolating field. After chiral extrapolation, the lowest positive-parity state is found to have a mass, m_{Theta}=2.25 GeV, which is much heavier than the experimentally observed Theta^+(1540). The lowest negative-parity 5Q appears at m_{Theta}=1.75 GeV, which is near the s-wave NK threshold. To distinguish spatially-localized 5Q resonances from NK scattering states, we propose a new general method imposing a ``Hybrid Boundary Condition (HBC)'', where the NK threshold is artificially raised without affecting compact five-quark states. The study using the HBC method shows that the negative-parity state observed on the lattice is not a compact 5Q but an s-wave NK-scattering state.

Exact and Near-Exact Inverse Renormalization Group with Constrained Monte Carlo

We establish conditions for exactness of the inverse renormalization group via constrained Markov processes, a class of Monte Carlo simulations which sample the degrees of freedom within a block on a fine lattice under the constraint that they remain consistent with the corresponding degree of freedom on the coarse lattice according to a forward renormalization group transformation. We show analytically, for an arbitrary transformation, that constrained Markov processes correspond to an exact inversion of the renormalization group at the fixed point action, and to a near-exact inversion in the vicinity of the fixed point. We then optimize renormalization group transformations directly on inversely renormalized configurations to effectively map the action onto itself and ensure computational stability in the generation of configurations for high-dimensional systems. Starting from a set of uncorrelated configurations for the three-dimensional $ϕ^{4}$ quantum field theory at lattice volume $V=16^{3}$, we invert the renormalization group with constrained Monte Carlo to construct a set of uncorrelated, near-equilibrium configurations for $V=128^{3}$ and extract two critical exponents of the system. The inversion exhibits no critical slowing down, with dynamic critical exponent $z=0.03(2)$.

First Overlap Formulation and Perturbative Results for Supersymmetric QCD

We present a lattice formulation of N=1 supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) based on overlap fermions, providing a discretization consistent with the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. Particular emphasis is placed on the construction of Yukawa terms that preserve a lattice-modified chiral symmetry involving overlap quarks and gluinos. To realize this modified chiral symmetry in the Yukawa sector, we follow Lüscher's strategy and introduce auxiliary Dirac and Majorana fermionic fields for the quark and gluino fields, respectively. After functional integration over these auxiliary fields, ultralocal interaction terms arise as additional contributions to the lattice action. Within this framework, and using the Wilson gauge action for gluons, we also carry out one-loop perturbative calculations. In particular, we compute the self-energies of the quark, gluon, gluino, and squark fields in the presence of quark and squark masses, enabling an unambiguous determination of the corresponding field and mass counterterms on the lattice. This work provides a robust foundation for future perturbative determinations of the fine-tunings of the gauge, Yukawa, and quartic couplings, and already shows, as expected, a reduction in the number of required counterterms relative to Wilson-type fermions.

Quark-mass dependence of two-nucleon scattering

Understanding how the properties of the visible Universe depend on the parameters of the Standard Model of particle physics requires \emph{ab initio} theoretical computations. To that end, we investigate the quark-mass dependence of low-energy nucleon-nucleon scattering in the deuteron and dineutron channels. We perform lattice-QCD calculations at pion masses $M_π\approx 200$ and $280$ MeV and compare their results to phenomenology at the physical point and to a previous calculation at $M_π\approx 710$ MeV. Scattering amplitudes, phase shifts, and threshold parameters are determined from finite-volume spectra using quantization conditions that explicitly incorporate long-distance effects from one-pion exchange. We analyze the pion-mass dependence of scattering lengths and effective ranges using chiral effective field theory with Weinberg and Kaplan-Savage-Wise power countings. From this, we estimate the pion-mass derivatives of the inverse scattering lengths and binding momentum, at the physical point. Both power countings indicate that the deuteron unbinds near $M_π\approx 220$ MeV.
