in the sea with the L ̈uscher-Weisz action used for the gluons. Open boundary conditions
in time are used to address the problem of topological freezing at small lattice spacings
and twisted-mass reweighting for improved stability of the simulations. We give the bare
parameters at which the ensembles have been generated and how these parameters have
been chosen. Details of the algorithmic setup and its performance are presented as well as
measurements of the pion and kaon masses alongside the scale parameter

We present measurements of a combination of the decay constants of the light pseudoscalar mesons and the gradient flow scale t 0 , which allow to set the scale of the lattices generated by CLS with 2 + 1 flavors of non-perturbatively improved Wilson fermions. Mistunings of the quark masses are corrected for by measuring the derivatives of observables with respect to the bare quark masses.
We present a lattice determination of the Λ parameter in three-flavor QCD and the strong coupling at the Z pole mass. Computing the nonperturbative running of the coupling in the range from 0.2 to 70 GeV, and using experimental input values for the masses and decay constants of the pion and the kaon, we obtain Λ
We present results on the nucleon axial form factors within lattice QCD using two flavors of degenerate twisted mass fermions. Volume effects are examined using simulations at two volumes of spatial length L = 2.1 fm and L = 2.8 fm. Cut-off effects are investigated using three different values of the lattice spacings, namely a = 0.089 fm, a = 0.070 fm and a = 0.056 fm. The nucleon axial charge is obtained in the continuum limit and chirally extrapolated to the physical pion mass enabling comparison with experiment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
