# The Eta-prime and Cooling with Staggered Fermions

## TL;DR

This paper calculates the eta-prime meson mass using staggered fermions in both quenched and dynamical simulations, and explores cooling as a quantitative analysis tool.

## Contribution

It introduces a method to compute eta-prime mass with staggered fermions and discusses cooling's role as a quantitative tool.

## Key findings

- Successful calculation of eta-prime mass with staggered fermions
- Discussion of cooling effects as a quantitative method
- Comparison between quenched and dynamical fermion results

## Abstract

We present a calculation of the mass of the eta-prime meson using quenched and dynamical staggered fermions. We also discuss the effects of "cooling" and suggest its use as a quantitative tool.
