We present preliminary results from a lattice calculation of tetraquark states in the charm and bottom sector of the type udbb, usbb, udcc and scbb. These calculations are performed on Nf = 2 + 1 + 1 MILC ensembles with lattice spacing of a = 0:12 fm and a = 0:06 fm. A relativistic action with overlap fermions is employed for the light and charm quarks while a non-relativistic action with non-perturbatively improved coefficients is used in the bottom sector. Preliminary results provide a clear indication of presence of energy levels below the relevant thresholds of different tetraquark states in the double bottom sector while a scattering state is observed in the charm sector.

e present our calculation of D → π and D → K semileptonic form factors in Nf = 2 + 1 lattice QCD. We simulate three lattice cutoffs a-1 ≃ 2.5, 3.6 and 4.5 GeV with pion masses as low as 230 MeV. The Möbius domain-wall action is employed for both light and charm quarks. We present our results for the vector and scalar form factors and discuss their dependence on the lattice spacing, light quark masses and momentum transfer.

We study the hyperon-nucleon (YN) forces by using quenched lattice QCD. The Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes are calculated for the lowest scattering state of the systems so as to obtain the YN potentials. The numerical calculation is twofold: (i) The pΞ0 potentials and scattering lengths are obtained by using lattice QCD with β = 5.7, the lattice spacing of a = 0.1416(9) fm , on the 323 × 32 lattice. Two kinds of ud quark mass are used, corresponding to mπ ≃ 0.37 GeV and 0.51 GeV. The spatial lattice volume is (4.5 fm)3. The scattering lengths obtained from Lüscher's formula show that the pΞ0 interactions are both attractive at 1S0 and 3S1 channels, and the interaction in the 3S1 is more attractive than in the 1S0. These attractive forces become stronger as the u, d quark mass decreases. (ii) The pΛ potentials are calculated. The lattice setup is almost same as the former calculation except for the temporal part. The calculation is performed on 323 × 48 lattice. Two kinds of ud quark mass are used, corresponding to mπ ≃ 0.47 GeV and 0.51 GeV. The lowest scattering energies in the finite lattice volume are calculated.

The parton distribution functions (PDFs) provide process-independent information about the quarks and gluons inside hadrons. Although the gluon PDF can be obtained from a global fit to experimental data, it is not constrained well in the large-[Formula: see text] region. Theoretical gluon-PDF studies are much fewer than those of the quark PDFs. In this work, we present the first lattice-QCD results that access the [Formula: see text]-dependence of the gluon unpolarized PDF of the nucleon. The lattice calculation is carried out with nucleon momenta up to 2.16 GeV, lattice spacing [Formula: see text] fm, and with valence pion masses of 310 and 690 MeV. We use reduced Ioffe-time distributions to cancel the renormalization and implement a one-loop perturbative pseudo-PDF gluon matching. We neglect mixing of the gluon operator with the quark singlet sector. Our matrix-element results in coordinate space are consistent with those obtained from the global PDF fits of CT18 NNLO and NNPDF3.1 NNLO. Our fitted gluon PDFs at both pion masses are consistent with global fits in the [Formula: see text] region.

The current constraints from lattice QCD on the existence of the H-dibaryon are discussed. With only two significant lattice QCD calculations of the H-dibaryon binding energy at approximately the same lattice spacing, the forms of the chiral and continuum extrapolations to the physical point are not determined. In this brief report, we consider the constraints on the H-dibaryon imposed by two simple chiral extrapolations. In both instances, the extrapolation to the physical pion mass allows for a bound H-dibaryon or a near-threshold scattering state. Further lattice QCD calculations are required to clarify this situation.

We present a lattice calculation of the Hadronic Vacuum Polarization (HVP) contribution of the strange and charm quarks to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon including leading-order electromagnetic (e.m.) corrections. We employ the gauge configurations generated by the European Twisted Mass Collaboration (ETMC) with Nf = 2+1 + 1 dynamical quarks at three values of the lattice spacing (a ≃ 0.062,0.082,0.089 fm) with pion masses in the range Mπ ≃ 210 - 450 MeV. The strange and charm quark masses are tuned at their physical values. Neglecting discon-nected diagrams and after the extrapolations to the physical pion mass and to the continuum limit we obtain: [see formula in PDF] and [see formula in PDF] for the strange and charm contributions, respectively.!

We study pΞ0 and pΛ forces by using quenched lattice QCD. The Bethe-Salpeter amplitude is calculated for the lowest scattering state of the systems. The numerical calculation is twofold: (i) For the pΞ0, the potentials and scattering lengths are obtained by using 323 × 32 lattice with β = 5.7, the lattice spacing of a = 0.1416(9) fm , and two kinds of ud quark mass corresponding to mπ ≃ 0.37 GeV and 0.51 GeV. The present results indicate that the pΞ0 interactions are both attractive at 1S0 and 3S1 channels, and the interaction in the 3S1 is more attractive than in the 1S0. These attractive forces become stronger as the u, d quark mass decreases. (ii) For the pΛ, the potentials are calculated by using the 323 × 48 lattice, and two kinds of ud quark mass corresponding to mπ ≃ 0.47 GeV and 0.51 GeV. The present preliminary result shows that the pΛ interactions are both attractive at 1S0 and 3S1 channels.

Abstract Isospin-1/2 Dπ scattering amplitudes are computed using lattice QCD, working in a single volume of approximately (3.6 fm)3 and with a light quark mass corresponding to mπ ≈ 239 MeV. The spectrum of the elastic Dπ energy region is computed yielding 20 energy levels. Using the Lüscher finite-volume quantisation condition, these energies are translated into constraints on the infinite-volume scattering amplitudes and hence enable us to map out the energy dependence of elastic Dπ scattering. By analytically continuing a range of scattering amplitudes, a $$ {D}_0^{\ast } $$ D 0 ∗ resonance pole is consistently found strongly coupled to the S-wave Dπ channel, with a mass m ≈ 2200 MeV and a width Γ ≈ 400 MeV. Combined with earlier work investigating the $$ {D}_{s0}^{\ast } $$ D s 0 ∗ , and $$ {D}_0^{\ast } $$ D 0 ∗ with heavier light quarks, similar couplings between each of these scalar states and their relevant meson-meson scattering channels are determined. The mass of the $$ {D}_0^{\ast } $$ D 0 ∗ is consistently found well below that of the $$ {D}_{s0}^{\ast } $$ D s 0 ∗ , in contrast to the currently reported experimental result.

According to the Leutwyler–Smilga relation, in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the topological susceptibility vanishes linearly with the quark masses. Calculations of the topological susceptibility in the context of lattice QCD, extrapolated to zero quark masses, show a remnant nonzero value as a lattice artefact. Employing the Atiyah–Singer theorem in the framework of Symanzik’s effective action and chiral perturbation theory, we show the validity of the Leutwyler–Smilga relation in lattice QCD with lattice artefacts of order a2 in the lattice spacing a.
