The 4D SU(3) gauge theory with an imaginary θ term
(2011)We study the scaling behavior of the 4D SU(3) lattice gauge theory in the presence of a θ term, by Monte Carlo simulations computing the topological properties at imaginary θ. The numerical results provide a good evidence ...

Calculation of the decay width of decuplet baryons
(Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2015)We calculate the coupling constant and decay width of the decuplet to octet baryon transitions in lattice QCD using the transfer matrix method. The transition amplitude is related to the coupling constant and via the Fermi's ...

Computation of correlation matrices for tetraquark candidates with Jp = 0+ and flavor structure q1q2q3q3
(Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2015)The conjecture that several recently observed mesons have a structure, which is not dominated by an ordinary quark-Antiquark pair, but by a four-quark structure, is being actively investigated both theoretical and ...

Determination of the Δ resonance width from lattice QCD
(Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2013)A method suitable for extracting resonance parameters of unstable baryons in lattice QCD is examined. The method is applied to the strong decay of the Δ to a pion-nucleon state, extracting the pND coupling constant and Δ ...
