Numerical study of the scaling properties of SU(2) lattice gauge theory in Palumbo non-compact regularization

Abstract

In the framework of a non-compact lattice regularization of nonabelian gauge theories we look, in the SU(2) case, for the scaling window through the analysis of the ratio of two masses of hadronic states. In the two-dimensional parameter space of the theory we find the region where the ratio is constant, and equal to the one in the Wilson regularization. In the scaling region we calculate the lattice spacing, finding it at least 20% larger than in the Wilson case; therefore the simulated physical volume is larger.
