From the behaviour of these correlators we extract glueball masses in the scalar as well as the axial-vector channels. Also in the deconfined phase, the non-zero momentum axial-vector correlator gives us information about the photon which appears as a massless particle in the spectrum. Using the Luescher - Weisz multi-level algorithm, we are able to go to large time separations which were not possible previously.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2003-09-04T17:56:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11.15.Ha" ], "keywords": [ "lattice gauge theory", "non-zero momentum axial-vector correlator", "extract glueball masses", "deconfined phase", "weisz multi-level algorithm" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2003.11.013" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 626963 } } }
