3 Physical background Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) QCD is the theory of the strong interaction (=color force) between quarks and gluons inside subatomic particles. Quark = elementary particle, fundamental constituent of matter, e.g., protons and neutrons. Gluons = exchange particles for the strong force between quarks. Lattice QCD approach to solve the theory of QCD investigation of elementary particles using computer simulations formulated on a lattice of points in space and time links U µ (x) SU(3) between points x and x + aˆµ M. Günther and M. Wandelt, HMC for Lattice QCD 2/30

4 Task of Lattice QCD Compuation of observables (particle mass, e.g.) observables given as expectation of certain operators O: O = O(U)Π(U)dU with probability space (Ω, σ(ω), F Π ) Ω = (SU(3)) N, N = lattice size Ω probability density Π(U) = exp( S(U))/Z with Z = Ω exp( S(U))dU, action S acting on U Ω. Problem: integral has very high dimension N = , for example M. Günther and M. Wandelt, HMC for Lattice QCD 3/30

5 Importance sampling Approximate integral by O 1 n n O(U i ) i=1 choose configurations U i according to the probability density exp( S(U))/Z prefer configurations that occur with a higher probability sequence is generated by a Markov chain is ergodic satisfies the detailed balance condition = convergence to the unique fixed point distribution given by the density Π(U) M. Günther and M. Wandelt, HMC for Lattice QCD 4/30

6 Hybrid Monte Carlo Method of choice in Lattice QCD uses augmented Markov chain constructs samples of pairs of links U Ω and momenta P ˆΩ = (su(3)) N samples generated according to the probability density ν(u, P ) given by ν(u, P ) = (2π)N/2 1 exp( S(U)) exp( P, P /2) Z } H (2π) N/2 {{}}{{} :=Π(U) :=ϕ(p ) 1 = exp( H(U, P )) with Z H Z H = ν(u, P )d(u, P ), H(U, P ) = P, P /2 + S(U) Ω ˆΩ M.
