    • Dynamical fermion simulations using Luscher's local bosonic action algorithm 

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES (Elsevier, 1995)
      The two-flavour Schwinger model is used to test the local boson action algorithm of M Luescher. The autocorrelation time is found to rise linearly with the number of auxiliary boson fields. An extension to the algorithm ...
    • Charmonium at high temperature in two-flavor QCD 

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES (American Physical Society, 2007)
      We compute charmonium spectral functions in 2-flavor QCD on anisotropic lattices using the maximum entropy method. Our results suggest that the S-waves (J= and c) survive up to temperatures close to 2Tc, while the P-waves ...
    • Charmonium properties in the quark-gluon plasma 

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES (2007)
      We present results for charmonium correlators and spectral functions in 2-flavour QCD on anisotropic lattices. Our results indicate that the S-waves (J/y and hc) survive up to temperatures close to 2Tc, while the P-waves ...
    • The spectrum of charmed mesons from dynamical anisotropic lattices 

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES; RYAN, SINEAD MARIE (2007)
      We present our preliminary analysis for the chamonium and Ds spectra obtained from Nf = 2 dynamical anisotropic lattices. We use 123?80 lattices with lattice spacing at = 7.35 GeV?1 and anisotropy of six. Meson correlators ...
    • Multi-hadron operators with all-to-all quark propagators 

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES (2008)
      Hadron spectroscopy on dynamical configurations are faced with the difficulties of dealing with the mixing of single particle states and multi-hadron states (for large spatial volumes and light dynamical quarksmasses). ...
    • Nonperturbative study of the action parameters for anisotropic-lattice quarks 

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES; RYAN, SINEAD MARIE (2006)
      A quark action designed for highly anisotropic-lattice simulations is discussed. The mass-dependence of the parameters in the action is studied and the results are presented. Applications of this action in studies of ...
    • Charmonium spectroscopy on dynamical anisotropic lattices 

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES; RYAN, SINEAD MARIE; SKULLERUD, JONIVAR (Elsevier, 2006)
      We present a first study of the charmonium spectrum on Nf = 2 dynamical, anisotropic lattices. We take advantage of all-to-all quark propagators to build spatially extended interpolating operators to increase the overlap ...
    • Practical all-to-all propagators for lattice QCD 

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES; RYAN, SINEAD MARIE; SKULLERUD, JONIVAR (Elsevier, 2005)
      A new method for computing all elements of the lattice quark propagator is proposed. The method combines the spectral decomposition of the propagator, computing the lowest eigenmodes exactly, with noisy estimators which ...
    • Static-light hadrons on a dynamical anisotropic lattice 

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES; RYAN, SINEAD MARIE; SKULLERUD, JONIVAR (Proceedings of Science, 2005)
      We present preliminary results for the static-light meson and baryon spectra for Nf = 2 QCD. The study is performed on an anisotropic lattice and uses a new all-to-all propagator method allowing us to determine particle ...

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES; RYAN, SINEAD MARIE (American Physical Society, 2003)
      The implementation of gauge theories on a four-dimensional anisotropic lattice with two distinct lattice spacings is discussed, with special attention to the case where two axes are finely and two axes are coarsely discretized. ...
    • A perturbative determination of the parameters of an anisotropic quark action 

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES; RYAN, SINEAD MARIE (Elsevier, 2005)
      The parameters of a 3+1 anisotropic quark action with Symanzik-improved glue are determined at 1-loop in perturbation theory.
    • Static-light matrix elements on a dynamical antisotropic lattice 

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES; RYAN, SINEAD MARIE; SKULLERUD, JONIVAR (Elsevier, 2005)
      The static-light matrix element needed to determine fB is studied on an anisotropic lattice with Nf = 2. The improvement in precision due to stout links and all-to-all propagators is investigated.
    • Tuning anisotropies for dynamical gauge configurations 

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES; RYAN, SINEAD MARIE (SISSA, 2005)
      We present methods and results for the tuning of quark and gluon anisotropies for improved actions in Nf = 2 QCD.
    • Improving Algorithms to Compute All Elements of the Lattice Quark Propagator 

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES; RYAN, SINEAD MARIE; SKULLERUD, JONIVAR (Elsevier, 2005)
      We present a new exact algorithm for estimating all elements of the quark propagator. The advantage of the method is that the exact all-to-all propagator is reproduced in a large but finite number of inversions. The ...

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES; RYAN, SINEAD MARIE (Proceedings of Science, 2005)
      Monte Carlo studies on non-perturbative 2D Euclidean Quantum Gravity can be done with the use of the Dynamical Triangulations method. The Monte Carlo moves defined within the dynamical triangulation method can be encompassed ...
