Quenched Charmed Meson Spectra using Tadpole Improved Quark Action on Anisotropic Lattices

Abstract

Charmed meson charmonium spectra are studied with improved quark actions on anisotropic lattices. We measured the pseudo-scalar and vector meson dispersion relations for 4 lowest lattice momentum modes with quark mass values ranging from the strange quark to charm quark with 3 different values of gauge coupling $β$ and 4 different values of bare speed of light $ν$. With the bare speed of light parameter $ν$ tuned in a mass-dependent way, we study the mass spectra of $D$, $D_s$, $η_c$, $D^{\ast}$, $D_s^{\ast}$ and $J/ψ$ mesons. The results extrapolated to the continuum limit are compared with the experiment and qualitative agreement is found.
