We give a 1993 update of non-compact lattice QED, in particular the chiral condensate, finite size effects and meson mass ratios. We compare descriptions of the phase transition. Our previous conclusions remain valid.

In this work we report on the Landau gauge photon propagator computed for pure gauge 4D compact QED in the confined and deconfined phases and for large lattices volumes: $32^4$, $48^4$ and $96^4$. In the confined phase, compact QED develops mass scales that render the propagator finite at all momentum scales and no volume dependence is observed for the simulations performed. Furthermore, for the confined phase the propagator is compatible with a Yukawa massive type functional form. For the deconfined phase the photon propagator seems to approach a free field propagator as the lattice volume is increased. In both cases, we also investigate the static potential and the average value of the number of Dirac strings in the gauge configurations $m$. In the confined phase the mass gap translates into a linearly growing static potential, while in the deconfined phase the static potential approaches a constant at large separations. Results shows that $m$ is, at least, one order of magnitude larger in the confined phase and confirm that the appearance of a confined phase is connected with the topology of the gauge group.
We discuss a preliminary design for a high luminosity 4 TeV center of mass $mu^+,mu^-$ collider ring.
We present new Monte Carlo results in non-compact lattice QED with staggered fermions down to m_0 = 0.005. This extends our previous investigations on the nature of the continuum limit of QED.
As algorithms and computing power have advanced, lattice QCD has become a precision technique for many QCD observables. However, the calculation of nucleon matrix elements remains an open challenge. I summarize the status of the lattice effort by examining one observable that has come to represent this challenge, average-x: the fraction of the nucleons momentum carried by its quark constituents. Recent results confirm a long standing tendency to overshoot the experimentally measured value. Understanding this puzzle is essential to not only the lattice calculation of nucleon properties but also the broader effort to determine hadron structure from QCD.
Hadron masses are subject to few MeV corrections arising from QED interactions, almost entirely arising from the electric charge of the valence quarks. The QED effects include both self-energy contributions and interactions between the valence quarks/anti-quarks. By combining results from different signs of the valence quark electric charge we are able to isolate the interaction term which is dominated by the Coulomb piece, $langle alpha_{mathrm{QED}}e_{q_1}e_{overline{q}_2}/r rangle$, in the nonrelativistic limit. We study this for $D_s$, $eta_c$ and $J/psi$ mesons, working in lattice QCD plus quenched QED. We use gluon field configurations that include up, down, strange and charm quarks in the sea at multiple values of the lattice spacing. Our results, including also values for mesons with quarks heavier than charm, can be used to improve phenomenological models for the QED contributions. The QED interaction term carries information about meson structure; we derive effective sizes $langle 1/r_{mathrm{eff}} rangle^{-1}$ for $eta_c$, $J/psi$ and $D_s$ of 0.206(8) fm, 0.321(14) fm and 0.307(31) fm respectively.
