We calculate the masses of bottom mesons using an improved relativistic action for the b-quarks and the RBC/UKQCD Iwasaki gauge configurations with 2+1 flavors of dynamical domain-wall light quarks. We analyze configurations with two lattice spacings: a^{-1} = 1.729 GeV (a ~ 0.11 fm) and a^{-1} = 2.281 GeV (a ~ 0.086 fm). We use an anisotropic, clover-improved Wilson action for the b-quark, and tune the three parameters of the action nonperturbatively such that they reproduce the experimental values of the B_s and B_s* heavy-light meson states. The masses and mass-splittings of the low-lying bottomonium states (such as the eta_b and Upsilon) can then be computed with no additional inputs, and comparison between these predictions and experiment provides a test of the validity of our method. We obtain bottomonium masses with total uncertainties of ~0.5-0.6% and fine-structure splittings with uncertainties of ~35-45%; for all cases we find good agreement with experiment. The parameters of the relativistic heavy-quark action tuned for b-quarks presented in this work can be used for precise calculations of weak matrix elements such as B-meson decay constants and mixing parameters with lattice discretization errors that are of the same size as in light pseudoscalar meson quantities. This general method can also be used for charmed meson masses and matrix elements if the parameters of the heavy-quark action are appropriately tuned.

We perform a numerical test of a relativistic heavy quark(RHQ) action, recently proposed by Tsukuba group, in quenched lattice QCD at $asimeq 0.1$ fm. With the use of the improvement parameters previously determined at one-loop level for the RHQ acti on, we investigate a restoration of rotational symmetry for heavy-heavy and heavy-light meson systems around the charm quark mass. We focused on two quantities, the meson dispersion relation and the pseudo-scalar meson decay constants. It is shown that the RHQ action significantly reduces the discretization errors due to the charm quark mass. We also calculate the S-state hyperfine splittings for the charmonium and charmed-strange mesons and the $D_s$ meson decay constant. The remaining discretization errors in the physical quantities are discussed.

We calculate charmed meson spectra and decay constants in lattice QCD employing one-loop $O(a)$ improved heavy quark action and axial-vector currents. In quenched simulations at $a sim 0.1$ fm with the plaquette gauge action as well as a renormalizat ion-group improved one, it is shown that the deviation from the continuum dispersion relation and the violation of space-time symmetry for the pseudoscalar meson decay constants are substantially reduced, once the $O(a)$ improvement is applied. Preliminary results with two flavors of dynamical quarks are also presented.
We perform a nonperturbative determination of the $O(a)$-improvement coefficient $c_{rm SW}$ and the critical hopping parameter $kappa_c$ for $N_f$=3, 2, 0 flavor QCD with the RG-improved gauge action using the Schrodinger functional method. In order to interpolate $c_{rm SW}$ and $kappa_c$ as a function of the bare coupling, a wide range of $beta$ from the weak coupling region to the moderately strong coupling points used in large-scale simulations is studied. Corrections at finite lattice size of $O(a/L)$ turned out to be large for the RG-improved gauge action, and hence we make the determination at a size fixed in physical units using a modified improvement condition. This enables us to avoid $O(a)$ scaling violations which would remain in physical observables if $c_{rm SW}$ determined for a fixed lattice size $L/a$ is used in numerical simulations.

Free energies between static quarks and Debye screening masses in the quark-gluon plasma are studied on the basis of Polyakov-line correlations in lattice simulations of 2+1 flavors QCD with the renormalization-group improved gluon action and the $O( a)$-improved Wilson quark action. We perform simulations at $m_{rm PS}/m_{rm V} = 0.63$ (0.74) for light (strange) flavors with lattice sizes of $32^3 times N_t$ with $N_t=4$--12. We adopt the fixed-scale approach, where temperature can be varied without changing the spatial volume and renormalization factor. We find that, at short distance, the free energies of static quarks in color-singlet channel converge to the static-quark potential evaluated from the Wilson-loop at zero-temperature, in accordance with the expected insensitivity of short distance physics to the temperature. At long distance, the free energies of static quarks approach to twice the single-quark free energies, implying that the interaction between static quarks is fully screened. The screening properties can be well described by the screened Coulomb form with appropriate Casimir factor at high temperature. We also discuss a limitation of the fixed-scale approach at high temperature.
We describe a calculation of heavy-light decay constants including virtual quark loop effects. We have generated dynamical gauge configurations at three $beta$ values using two flavors of Kogut-Susskind quarks with a range of masses. These are analyz ed with a Wilson valence quark action. Preliminary results based on a ``fat-link clover valence quark action are also reported. Results from the two methods differ by 30 to 50 MeV, which is presumably due to significant - but as yet unobserved - lattice spacing dependence in one or both of the approaches.
