F. Butler, H. Chen, J. Sexton, A. Vaccarino, and D. Weingarten
TL;DR
This paper assesses the accuracy of lattice QCD predictions for hadron mass ratios in the valence approximation, finding close agreement with experimental values within 6%.
Contribution
It provides the first detailed evaluation of infinite volume and continuum limits for multiple hadron mass ratios in quenched lattice QCD.
Findings
Predicted mass ratios differ from observed values by less than 6%.
The study confirms the validity of the valence approximation for hadron mass predictions.
Results support the use of lattice QCD in precise hadron spectroscopy.
Abstract
We evaluate the infinite volume, continuum limits of eight hadron mass ratios predicted by lattice QCD with Wilson quarks in the valence (quenched) approximation. Each predicted ratio differs from the corresponding observed value by less than 6\%.
