We report on the first study of the screening properties of the mesonic excitations with strange ($s$) and charm ($c$) quarks, specifically the ground states of the pseudo-scalar and vector meson excitations for the $bar{s}s$, $bar{s}c$ and $bar{c}c$ flavor combinations, using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark action with dynamical physical strange quark and nearly-physical up and down quarks. By comparing with their respective vacuum meson masses and by investigating the influence of the changing temporal boundary conditions of the valence quarks we study the thermal modifications of these mesonic excitations. While the $bar{s}s$ states show significant modifications even below the chiral crossover temperature $T_c$, the modifications of the open-charm and charmonium like states become visible only for temperatures $Tgtrsim T_c$ and $Tgtrsim1.2T_c$, respectively.

The MILC collaborations simulations with improved staggered quarks are being extended with runs at a lattice spacing of 0.06 fm with quark masses down to one tenth the strange quark mass. We give a brief introduction to these new simulations and the
determination of the lattice spacing. Then we combine these new runs with older results to study the masses of the nucleon and the Omega minus in the continuum and chiral limits.
It is well established that lattice artifacts can be suppressed substantially by the use of SU(3)-projected smeared links in the fermion action. An example is the Highly Improved Staggered Quark action where the ASQ-like effective links are construct
ed from reunitarized Fat7 links. A general procedure is presented for computing the derivative of the fermion action with respect to the base links (fermion force) - a key component in dynamical simulations using molecular dynamics evolution. The method is iterative and can be applied to actions with arbitrary levels of smearing and reunitarization. The cost of calculating the fermion force is determined for the ASQ action and the HISQ action. Test results show that calculating the HISQ force is about two times more expensive than the ASQ force.
We present the first computation in a program of lattice-QCD baryon physics using staggered fermions for sea and valence quarks. For this initial study, we present a calculation of the nucleon mass, obtaining $964pm16$ MeV with all sources of statist
ical and systematic errors controlled and accounted for. This result is the most precise determination to date of the nucleon mass from first principles. We use the highly-improved staggered quark action, which is computationally efficient. Three gluon ensembles are employed, which have approximate lattice spacings $a=0.09$ fm, $0.12$ fm, and $0.15$ fm, each with equal-mass $u$/$d$, $s$, and $c$ quarks in the sea. Further, all ensembles have the light valence and sea $u$/$d$ quarks tuned to reproduce the physical pion mass, avoiding complications from chiral extrapolations or nonunitarity. Our work opens a new avenue for precise calculations of baryon properties, which are both feasible and relevant to experiments in particle and nuclear physics.
We use a relativistic highly improved staggered quark action to discretize charm quarks on the lattice. We calculate the masses and the dispersion relation for heavy-heavy and heavy-light meson states, and show that for lattice spacings below .1 fm,
the discretization errors are at the few percent level. We also discuss the prospects for accurate calculations at the few percent level of f_D_s, f_D, and the leptonic width of the psi and phi.
This work continues our program of lattice-QCD baryon physics using staggered fermions for both the sea and valence quarks. We present a proof-of-concept study that demonstrates, for the first time, how to calculate baryon matrix elements using stagg
ered quarks for the valence sector. We show how to relate the representations of the continuum staggered flavor-taste group $text{SU}(8)_{FT}$ to those of the discrete lattice symmetry group. The resulting calculations yield the normalization factors relating staggered baryon matrix elements to their physical counterparts. We verify this methodology by calculating the isovector vector and axial-vector charges $g_V$ and $g_A$. We use a single ensemble from the MILC Collaboration with 2+1+1 flavors of sea quark, lattice spacing $aapprox 0.12$ fm, and a pion mass $M_piapprox305$ MeV. On this ensemble, we find results consistent with expectations from current conservation and neutron beta decay. Thus, this work demonstrates how highly-improved staggered quarks can be used for precision calculations of baryon properties, and, in particular, the isovector nucleon charges.
