Dirac b quark on the lattice

Abstract

We perform the first study of treating b, c, and s quarks as Dirac fermions in lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry. On a 323 60 lattice with 1/a ~ 7.68 GeV, we compute point-to-point quark propagators, and measure the time-correlation functions for mesons with quark contents bbbar, cbbar, sbbar, and ccbar. The lowest-lying meson mass spectra, the pseudoscalar decay constants, and the b and c quark masses are determined.
