String-breaking in quenched QCD
Abstract
We present results on a new operator for the investigation of string-breaking effects in quenched SU(2)-colour QCD. The ground state of a spatially-separated static-light meson-antimeson pair is a combination of a state with two distinct mesons, expected to dominate for large separations, and a state where the light quarks have annihilated, which contributes at short distances. The cross-over between these two regimes provides the string-breaking scale.
