Infrared fixed point in SU(2) gauge theory with adjoint fermions (1102.2843v2)
Published 14 Feb 2011 in hep-lat and hep-ph
Abstract: We apply Schrodinger-functional techniques to the SU(2) lattice gauge theory with N_f=2 flavors of fermions in the adjoint representation. Our use of hypercubic smearing enables us to work at stronger couplings than did previous studies, before encountering a critical point and a bulk phase boundary. Measurement of the running coupling constant gives evidence of an infrared fixed point g* where 1/g*2 = 0.20(4)(3). At the fixed point, we find a mass anomalous dimension gamma_m(g*) = 0.31(6).
