Exploring the large-Nc limit with one quark flavour
Abstract
We use one-flavour QCD (Nc=3) as a proxy to understand N=1 SYM. For our simulations, we use tree-level improved Wilson fermions and Symanzik improved gauge action. The hadron spectrum is obtained by using LapH smearing for different masses and simulation volumes. We also report on our efforts to increase the number of colours in our simulations, where we find that the simulations show increasing topological freezing for larger Nc.
