Approaching the conformal window: systematic study of the particle spectrum in SU(2) field theory with Nf=2, 4 and 6 (1511.04947v1)
Published 16 Nov 2015 in hep-lat
Abstract: It is expected that SU(2) gauge theory with $N_f$ fundamental fermions has an infrared fixed point when $N_f$ is between $\sim 6$ and 10. We study the hadron spectrum and scale setting in SU(2) gauge field theory with $N_f=2,4,6$ using hypercubic stout smeared Wilson-clover (HEX) action. The case $N_f=2$ is QCD-like, whereas $N_f=6$ is close to the lower edge of the conformal window. In our study the length scales are determined by using the gradient flow approach.
