We calculate the vector current correlation function for light valence quarks in deconfined phase of QCD. The calculations have been performed quenched lattice QCD at T=1.45 Tc four values cut-off on lattices up to size 128^3x48. This allows perform a continuum extrapolation Euclidean time interval tau*T -in [0.2, 0.5], which extends largest temporal separations possible finite temperature, better than 1% accuracy. In this interval, value temperature investigated, we find that never deviates...

We investigate the possibility of qq^{'}b[over ¯]b[over ¯] tetraquark bound states using n_{f}=2+1 lattice QCD ensembles with pion masses ≃164, 299, and 415 MeV. Motivated by observations from heavy baryon phenomenology, we consider two interpolating operators, both which are expected to couple efficiently states: one a diquark-antidiquark meson-meson structure.

We continue our study of heavy-light four-quark states and find evidence from lattice QCD for the existence a strong-interaction-stable $I({J}^{P})=0({1}^{+})$ $ud\overline{c}\overline{b}$ tetraquark with mass in range 15 to 61 MeV below $\overline{D}{B}^{*}$ threshold. Since this includes electromagnetic $\overline{D}B\ensuremath{\gamma}$ decay threshold, current uncertainties do not allow us determine whether such state would electromagnetically or only weakly. also perform at fixed pion...

The shear and bulk viscosities in the Quark-Gluon Plasma are quantities of enormous interest for collisions heavy ions at RHIC LHC. Using lattices up to ${144}^{3}$ x $36$ size, applying gradient flow blocking methods with high precision, authors compute these $1.5$ times deconfining transition temperature pure glue theory. This shows that obtaining values dynamical quarks, which can be compared directly experiment, is feasible near future.
