Analysis of full-QCD and quenched-QCD lattice propagators M.S. Bhagwat and P.C.

Recent lattice-QCD results for the dressed-gluon propagator are used within the quark 2 Dyson-Schwinger equation to determine the gluon-quark vertex dressing necessary to reproduce n the lattice-QCD results for the dressed-quark propagator. Both quenched and full QCD lattice a simulations, for a range of low quark current masses, are analyzed. The chiral extrapolation is made J through this continuum DSE form. Resulting chiral and physical pion observables are investigated. 7 Keywords: Dyson-Schwinger equation, chiral symmetry, dressed quark-gluon vertex, lattice-QCD.

While steady progress is being made in the reduction t - of such errors, it is useful to gain insight into dominant field theory mechanisms by l c comparing to hadronic results from covariant modeling of continuum QCD. The Dyson- u Schwinger equations (DSEs), the equations of motion of the theory, provide such an n :
