abstract

The large mass of the ninth pseudoscalar meson, the $\eta^\prime$, is believed to arise from the combined effects of the axial anomaly and the gauge field topology present in QCD. We report a realistic, 2+1 flavor, lattice QCD calculation of the $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ masses and mixing which confirms this picture. The physical eigenstates show small octet-singlet mixing with a mixing angle of $\theta = -14.1(2.8)^\circ$. Extrapolation to physical light quark mass gives, with statistical errors only, $m_\eta=573(6)$ MeV and $m_{\eta^\prime}=947(142)$ MeV, consistent with the experimental values of 548 MeV and 958 MeV.

  1. Scalar glueball-$s\bar{s}$ mixing in one flavor lattice QCD

    hep-lat 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A lattice QCD simulation with one dynamical strange quark finds a large scalar glueball-s̄s mixing angle |θ|≈40.7(2.7)° and mixing energy x_s≈239(24) MeV, implying strong glueball-strange-quark mixing.
