Abstract We compute the Darwin operator contribution ($$ 1/{m}_b^3 $$ 1 / m b 3 correction) to the width of the inclusive non-leptonic decay of a B meson (B+, Bd or Bs), stemming from the quark flavour-changing transition b → $$ {q}_1{\overline{q}}_2{q}_3 $$ q 1 q ¯ 2 q 3 , where q1, q2 = u, c and q3 = d, s. The key ideas of the computation are the local expansion of the quark propagator in the external gluon field including terms with a covariant derivative of the gluon field strength tensor and the standard technique of the Heavy Quark Expansion (HQE). We confirm the previously known expressions of the $$ 1/{m}_b^3 $$ 1 / m b 3 contributions to the semi-leptonic decay b → $$ {q}_1\mathrm{\ell}{\overline{\nu}}_{\mathrm{\ell}} $$ q 1 ℓ ν ¯ ℓ , with ℓ = e, μ, τ and of the $$ 1/{m}_b^2 $$ 1 / m b 2 contributions to the non-leptonic modes. We find that this new term can give a sizeable correction of about −4 % to the non-leptonic decay width of a B meson. For Bd and Bs mesons this turns out to be the dominant correction to the free b-quark decay, while for the B+ meson the Darwin term gives the second most important correction — roughly 1/2 to 1/3 of the phase space enhanced Pauli interference contribution. Due to the tiny experimental uncertainties in lifetime measurements the incorporation of the Darwin term contribution is crucial for precision tests of the Standard Model.

Definition Of

The quark condensate which enters the Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner (GMOR) relation, is investigated in the framework of one-gluon-exchange models. The usual definition of the quark condensate via the trace of the quark propagator produces a logarithmic divergent condensate. In the product of current mass and condensate, this divergence is precisely compensated by the bare current mass. The finite value of the product in fact does not contradict the relation recently obtained by Cahill and Gunner. Therefore the GMOR relation is still satisfied.

Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs) are a non-perturbative way to express n-point functions in quantum field theory. Working in Euclidean space and in Landau gauge, for example, one can study the quark propagator Dyson-Schwinger equation in the real and complex domain, given that a suitable and tractable truncation has been found. When aiming for solving these equations in the complex domain, that is, for complex external momenta, one has to deform the integration contour of the radial component in the complex plane of the loop momentum expressed in hyper-spherical coordinates. This has to be done in order to avoid poles and branch cuts in the integrand of the self-energy loop. Since the nature of Dyson-Schwinger equations is such, that they have to be solved in a self-consistent way, one cannot analyze the analytic properties of the integrand after every iteration step, as this would not be feasible. In these proceedings, we suggest a machine learning pipeline based on deep learning (DL) approaches to computer vision (CV), as well as deep reinforcement learning (DRL), that could solve this problem autonomously by detecting poles and branch cuts in the numerical integrand after every iteration step and by suggesting suitable integration contour deformations that avoid these obstructions. We sketch out a proof of principle for both of these tasks, that is, the pole and branch cut detection, as well as the contour deformation.

The theory that explains the strong interactions of the elementary particles, as part of the standard model, it is the so-called Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) theory. In regimes of low energy this theory it is formulated and solved in a lattice with four dimensions using numerical simulations. This method it is called the lattice QCD theory. Quark propagator it the most important element that is calculated because it contains the physical information of lattice QCD. Computing quark propagator of chiral fermions in lattice means that we should invert the chiral Dirac operator, which has high complexity. In the standard inversion algorithms of the Krylov subspace methods, that are used in these kinds of simulations, the time of inversion is scaled with the inverse of the quark mass. In lattice QCD simulations with chiral fermions, this phenomenon it is knowing as the critical slowing-down problem. The purpose of this work is to show that the preconditioned GMRESR algorithm, developed in our previous work, solves this problem. The preconditioned GMRESR algorithm it is developed in U(1) group symmetry using QCDLAB 1.0 package, as good “environment” for testing new algorithms. In this paper we study the escalation of the time of inversion with the quark mass for this algorithm. It turned out that it is a fast inversion algorithm for lattice QCD simulations with chiral fermions, that “soothes” the critical slowing-down of standard algorithms. The results are compared with SHUMR algorithm that is optimal algorithm used in these kinds of simulations. The calculations are made for 100 statistically independent configurations on 64 x 64 lattice gauge U(1) field for three coupling constant and for some quark masses. The results showed that for the preconditioned GMRESR algorithm the coefficient k, related to the critical slowing down phenomena, it is approximately - 0.3 compared to the inverse proportional standard law (k = -1) that it is scaled SHUMR algorithm, even for dense lattices. These results make more stable and confirm the efficiency of our algorithm as an algorithm that avoid the critical slowing down phenomenon in lattice QCD simulations. In our future studies we have to develop the preconditioned GMRESR algorithm in four dimensions, in SU (3) lattice gauge theory.
