    The first phase of a heavy quark program based on twisted mass valence quarks has been presented at last year's lattice conference. The CLS $N_f=2+1$ ensembles were used for their fine lattice spacing, while twisting the masses is expected to reduce discretisation errors even further and allow for a fully relativistic calculation. In this poster, we present our first preliminary results on...

    Using the infinite volume reconstruction method, we present a lattice QCD calculation of neutrinoless double beta decay $\pi^-\to \pi^+ ee$ with only exponentially suppressed finite volume effects. We compare these results with the conventional $QED_L$ method. Our calculation can provide the low-energy constants for chiral perturbation theory. Besides, combining with our previous study on...

    Proton decay matrix elements in QCD are indispensable quantities to constrain GUT models through the lower bound of the proton lifetime measured in the current and future underground experiments. Results obtained with lattice QCD so far have largest systematic uncertainty on the chiral extrapolation. We report on the relevant form factors of the dominant decay processes: a proton to a...

    The major decay rates of the charged pion and kaon mesons are to the end state of a muon and neutrino. This mode contributes over 99.9 percent to the pion decay, and about 64 percent to the kaon decay.

    Analysing this decay on the lattice could lead to improved values for the meson decay constants and the parameters in the CKM matrix. High accuracy predictions will need to have QED effects...

    We establish the conformal nature of an SU(3) gauge theory with twelve
    fundamental flavors by presenting final results for our gradient flow
    step-scaling calculation of the renormalization group beta function using domain wall fermions. The
    continuum limit of the $s=2$ step scaling function exhibits a sign change (infra-red
    fixed point) around $g_c^2 \sim 5.5$ in the $c=0.25$ scheme....

    The conventional method to calculate $\pi\to\gamma\gamma$ decay width is to study the momentum dependence of the pion form factor $F_{\pi\gamma\gamma}(p^2,q^2)$ with $p$, $q$ the momenta of two photons and perform an extrapolation to the on-shell limit, $p^2,q^2=0$. In alternative, we propose a novel, simple approach to determine the decay width directly from the hadronic function in Euclidean...

    We employ the chirally rotated Schroedinger functional ($\chi$SF) to study two-point fermion bilinear correlation functions used in determination of $Z_{A,V,S,P,T}$, on a series of well-tuned ensembles generated using the Schroedinger Functional (SF) and which span renormalisation scales from 4 to 70 GeV. We carry out a detailed comparison with the expectations from one-loop perturbation theory.

    We report recent progress in determining $\varepsilon_K$, the indirect
    CP violation parameter in neutral kaons, calculated using lattice QCD
    inputs including $\hat{B}_K$, $\xi_0$, $\xi_2$, $|V_{us}|$,
    $|V_{cb}|$, and $m_c(m_c)$. Recently Belle has updated results for
    exclusive $|V_{cb}|$ using both CLN and BGL method. They are used in
    this analysis.

Data on four MILC HISQ ensembles: a12m310, a12m220, a09m310, a09m220 has been generated using the coherent sequential source to increase the statistics cost effectively. The excited states are controlled with...

Our calculation is based on RBC-UKQCD's set of 2+1 dynamical flavor gauge field ensembles and in the valence sector we use domain wall fermions for up/down, strange, and charm quarks, whereas bottom quarks are simulated with the...

    In lattice gauge theory, understanding contributions from excited states is imperative for achieving high precision calculations. A variety of methods are available to extract excited states, such as fitting to multiple exponentials, Prony’s method, and Matrix Prony, correlator matrices, and generalized eigenvalue problems. A generic problem faced by all these methods is that the resulting...

    Eleven years after its inception, the QUDA library for Lattice QCD on NVIDIA GPUs has achieved a historic 1.0 release. In this span QUDA has evolved into an open-source framework for full QCD simulations. The library has been fully re-written in a new highly optimized C++11 framework, superseding python-generated routines and ushering in a new age of rapid algorithm prototyping and...

    We present an novel calculation of the static force directly from the lattice. Compared to the usual approach of taking derivatives of static potential, a direct measurement of the force resolves the ambiguities related to integration constants when comparing to pNRQCD expansion. We have performed a set of SU(3) pure gauge simulations using the multilevel algorithm to test out
    this procedure.

    on both quenched and 2+1-flavor dynamical ensembles by measuring autocorrelations on topological charge and wilson flow scales, as well as topological diffusion coefficients.

    We have initiated a program to compute the Compton amplitude with the Feynman-Hellman method. This amplitude is related to the structure function via a Fredholm integral equation of the first kind. It is known that these types of equations are inherently ill-posed - they are, e.g., extremly sensitive to perturbations of the system. We discuss some methods which are candidates to handle these...

    Brambilla et al. have derived an effective description of quarkonium with two parameters: a momentum diffusion term which has been widely explored within the community, and a real self-energy term. We derive a relation between the self-energy term and Euclidean electric field correlators along a Polyakov line, which can directly be studied on the lattice without the need for analytical...

    The long term goal of our current project is to provide a high-order Taylor expansion of the grand canonical partition function of QCD, at non vanishing chemical potential.
    For our study we use (2+1)-flavor of highly improved staggered quarks
    (HISQ) with physical light and strange quark masses.
    In order to achieve that goal, we are further advancing the numerical
    tools that allow for the...

    Quarkonium suppression in quark-gluon plasma has been investigated since original work by Matsui and Satz [1]. This topic remains actual due to the need of quark-gluon plasma diagnostics. In fact, both quarkonium suppression in quark-gluon plasma and recombination during hadronisation remain to be key open questions [2]. The bound state of quarkonium is theoretically well investigated in...

    Quantifying the structure of mesons in terms of their fundamental constituents is a major goal of hadron research. In the last decades extensive progress has been made in the calculation of quark structure, however very little is understood about the gluonic equivalent. One way of quantifying how quarks and gluons make up mesons is via the generalized parton distribution functions (GPDs). This...

    EQCD is a 3D bosonic theory containing SU(3) and an adjoint scalar,
    which efficiently describes the infrared, nonperturbative sector of
    hot QCD and which is highly amenable to lattice study. We improve
    the matching between lattice and continuum EQCD by determining the
    final unknown coefficient in the $\mathcal{O}(a)$ matching, an additive
    scalar mass renormalization. We do this...

    There are several ways of distinguishing would-be zero modes of staggered fermions from non-zero modes of them. An intuitive approach is observing the taste symmetry on eigenvalue spectrum, but this fails in many cases and does not give much physical information.We are also able to identify those zero modes by measuring their chiralities, which has a better resolution for the identification...

    We explore the S- and P-states for bottomonia at high temperatures, above the critical temperature $T_c$, using non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD). We extract the spectrum as a function of temperature using smeared source correlators. We push to the limit of NRQCD for $N_ \tau = 12$ which allows us to find the bottomonium spectrum up to a temperature of 334MeV.
