Abstract:
We measure the static potential from Wilson loops constructed using hypercubic blocked (HYP) links. The HYP potential agrees with the potential measured using thin links for distances r/a>=2. We calculated the lowest order perturbative expansion of the lattice Coulomb potential of HYP links. These results are used in analyzing the static potential both on quenched and dynamical lattices. The statistical accuracy of the potential with HYP links improves by about an order of magnitude, giving a reliable scale even with limited statistics both on quenched and dynamical lattices.
