Methods for Pseudoscalar Flavour-Singlet Mesons with Staggered Fermions
arXiv:0709.4224 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.77.065019
Abstract
We present the first 2+1 flavour lattice QCD calculations of pseudoscalar flavour-singlet propagators using improved staggered fermions. We explore the relevant techniques and discuss prospects for the larger scale studies now in progress. The disconnected correlator is shown to have a highly non-Gaussian distribution and reliable estimates of the errors require care.
