      First physics results at the physical pion mass from Nf=2 Wilson twisted mass fermions at maximal twist 

      Petschlies, Marcus; Abdel-Rehim, A.; Alexandrou, Constantia; Burger, F.; Constantinou, Martha; Dimopoulos, Petros; Frezzotti, R.; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Helmes, C.; Jansen, K.; Jost, C.; Kallidonis, Christos; Knippschild, B.; Kostrzewa, B.; Koutsou, Giannis; Liu, L.; Mangin-Brinet, M.; Ottnad, K.; Pientka, G.; Rossi, G. C.; Urbach, C.; Wenger, U.; Werner, M. (2017)
      We present physics results from simulations of QCD using Nf=2 dynamical Wilson twisted mass fermions at the physical value of the pion mass. These simulations are enabled by the addition of the clover term to the twisted ...

      Investigation of light and heavy tetraquark candidates using lattice QCD 

      Wagner, M.; Abdel-Rehim, A.; Alexandrou, Constantia; Brida, M. D.; Gravina, M.; Koutsou, Giannis; Scorzato, L.; Urbach, C. (2014)
      We review the status of an ongoing long-term lattice investigation of the spectrum and structure of tetraquark candidates. We focus on the light scalar meson a0(980). First steps regarding the study of a possibly existing ...

      Lattice investigation of the scalar mesons a0(980) and κ using four-quark operators 

      Alexandrou, Constantia; Daldrop, J. O.; Brida, M. D.; Gravina, M.; Scorzato, L.; Urbach, C.; Wagner, M. (2013)
      We carry out an exploratory study of the isospin one a0(980) and the isospin one-half κ scalar mesons using Nf = 2 + 1 + 1 Wilson twisted mass fermions at one lattice spacing. The valence strange quark is included as an ...

      Scalar mesons and tetraquarks by means of lattice QCD 

      Wagner, M.; Alexandrou, Constantia; Gravina, M.; Daldrop, J. O.; Urbach, C.; Brida, M. D.; Scorzato, L.; Wiese, C. (2012)
      We study the light scalar mesons a0(980) and κ using Nf = 2+1+1 flavor lattice QCD. In order to probe the internal structure of these scalar mesons, and in particular to identify, whether a sizeable tetraquark component ...
