We perform a comparative study of the infrared properties of overlap and staggered fermions in QCD. We observe that the infrared spectrum of the APE/HYP improved staggered Dirac operator develops a four-fold near-degeneracy and is in quantitative agreement with the infrared spectrum of the overlap operator. The near-degeneracy allows us to identify...

The effect of repeatedly smearing SU (3) gauge configurations is investigated. Six gauge actions (Wilson, Symanzik, Iwasaki, DBW2, Beinlich-Karsch-Laermann, Langfeld) and three smearing recipes (APE, HYP, EXP, the first two with and without projection) are compared. The impact on Wilson loops and the Creutz ratio is monitored as well as the ''naive...
The irradiation project HFR phase 1b was planned and carried out in the frame of the European Long-term Fusion Materials Development Programme. It represents the continuation of the former High-Flux-Reactor irradiation programmes which are documented in detail in former FZK-reports. The problem of the irradiation induced embrittlement of possible m...
