On the Dynamics of Light Quarks in QCD

Abstract

We describe recent results concerning the behavior of lattice QCD with light dynamical Wilson and Staggered quarks. We show that it is possible to reach regions of parameter space with light pions mπ≈ 0.2/a using Wilson fermions. If the Hybrid Molecular Dynamics (HMD) algorithm is used with the same parameters it gives incorrect results. We also present preliminary results using a higher-order integration scheme.
