Sp(4) gauge theories on the lattice: Quenched fundamental and antisymmetric fermions

Understand

We perform lattice studies of meson mass spectra and decay constants of the $Sp(4)$ gauge theory in the quenched approximation.

• We consider two species of (Dirac) fermions as matter field content, transforming in the 2-index antisymmetric and the fundamental representation of the gauge group, respectively.
• All matter fields are formulated as Wilson fermions.
• We extrapolate to the continuum and massless limits, and compare to each other the results obtained for the two species of mesons.
