We report on a first, comprehensive partially quenched study of the eta-eta problem, based on SESAM configurations on a 16^3x32 lattice at beta=5.6 QCD with two (mass degenerate) active sea quark flavours. By means of the spectral approximation of the two-loop (hairpin) diagrams, we find clear plateau formation in the effective masses which enables us both to determine the eta-eta mass matrix and the alpha-parameter in the effective chiral Lagrangian for the flavour singlet sector, alpha=0.028 +- 0.013.

We present new results from our ongoing study of flavor singlet pseudoscalar mesons in QCD. Our approach is based on (a) performing truncated eigenmode expansions for the hairpin diagram and (b) incorporating the ground state contribution for the connected meson propagator. First, we explain how the computations can be substantially improved by even-odd preconditioning. We extend previous results on early mass plateauing in the eta channel of two-flavor full QCD with degenerate sea and valence quarks to the partially quenched situation. We find that early mass plateau formation persists in the partially quenched situation.
In this paper we explore the computation of topological susceptibility and $eta$ meson mass in $N_f=2$ flavor QCD using lattice techniques with physical value of the pion mass as well as larger pion mass values. We observe that the physical point can be reached without a significant increase in the statistical noise. The mass of the $eta$ meson can be obtained from both fermionic two point functions and topological charge density correlation functions, giving compatible results. With the pion mass dependence of the $eta$ mass being flat we arrive at $M_{eta}= 772(18) mathrm{MeV}$ without an explicit continuum limit. For the topological susceptibility we observe a linear dependence on $M_pi^2$, however, with an additional constant stemming from lattice artifacts.
It has been known for a long time that the large experimental singlet-octet mass gap in the pseudoscalar meson mass spectrum originates from the anomaly of the axial vector current, i.e. from nonperturbative effects and the nontrivial topological structure of the QCD vacuum. In the N_colour -> infinity limit of the theory, this connection elucidates in the famous Witten-Veneziano relation between the eta-mass and the topological susceptibility of the quenched QCD vacuum.While lattice QCD has by now produced impressive high precision results on the flavour nonsinglet hadron spectrum, the determination of the pseudoscalar singlet mesons from direct correlator studies is markedly lagging behind, due to the computational complexity in handling observables that include OZI-rule violating diagrams, like the eta propagator. In this article, we report on some recent progress in dealing with the numerical bottleneck problem.
Masses of the eta and eta-prime mesons are estimated in Nf=2+1 lattice QCD with the non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson quark action and the Iwasaki RG-improved gluon action, using CP-PACS/JLQCD configurations on a 16^3 x 32 lattice at beta=1.83 (lattice spacing is 0.122 fm). We apply a stochastic noise estimator technique combined with smearing method to evaluate correlators among flavor SU(2) singlet pseudoscalar operators and strange pseudoscalar operators for 10 combinations of up/down and strange quark masses. The correlator matrix is then diagonalized to identify signals for mass eigenstates. Masses of the ground state and the first excited state extrapolated to the physical point are m_eta= 0.545(16) GeV and m_eta-prime= 0.871(46) GeV, being close to the experimental values of the eta and eta-prime masses.
We present a lattice QCD computation of $eta$ and $eta^prime$ masses and mixing angles, for the first time controlling continuum and quark mass extrapolations. The results for the eta mass 551(8)(6) MeV (first error statistical, second systematic) and the eta mass 1006(54)(38)(+61) MeV (third error from our method) are in excellent agreement with experiment. Our data show that the mixing in the quark flavour basis can be described by a single mixing angle of 46(1)(3) degree indicating that the eta is mainly a flavour singlet state.
