1 DeTar, CarletonFirst signs for string breaking in two-flavor QCDWe have been examining the phenomenon of string breaking in QCD with two flavors of dynamical staggered quarks. We construct a transfer matrix from a combination of "string" and "two-meson" channels. Preliminary results with low statistics show the expected signs of string breaking.String breaking; Wilson loop; Staggered quarks2000-04
2 DeTar, CarletonHeavy-light decay constants with dynamical gauge configurations and Wilson or improved valence quark actionsWe describe a calculation of heavy-light decay constants including virtual quark loop effects. We have generated dynamical gauge configurations at three _x000C_ values using two flavors of Kogut-Susskind quarks with a range of masses. These are analyzed with a Wilson valence quark action. Prelimin...Decay constants; Kogut-Susskind quarks; Wilson quarks; Fat-clover valence quarks2000-04
3 Wu, Yong-Shi; Raikh, Mikhail E.Role of spin-orbit coupling in the metal-insulator transition in two-dimensional systemsWe propose an experiment, which would allow us to pinpoint the role of spin-orbit coupling in the metal-nonmetal transition observed in a number of two-dimensional systems at low densities. Namely, we demonstrate that in a parallel magnetic field the interplay between the spin-orbit coupling and the...Spin-orbit coupling; Metal-insulator transitions2000-04
4 DeTar, CarletonScaling tests of the improved Kogut-Susskind quark actionImproved lattice actions for Kogut-Susskind quarks have been shown to improve rotational symmetry and flavor symmetry. In this work we find improved scaling behavior of the r and nucleon masses expressed in units of a length scale obtained from the static quark potential, and better behavior of the ...Instantons; Static potential2000-04
5 DeTar, CarletonSemileptonic decays of heavy mesons with the fat clover actionWe are studying a variety of semileptonic decays of heavy-light mesons in an effort to improve the determination of the heavy-quark Standard-Model CKM matrix elements. Our fermion action is a novel, improved "fat" clover action that promises to reduce problems with exceptional configurations. Dynami...Semileptonic decay; Decay constants; Staggered quarks; Fat-clover valence quarks2000-04
