Baryonic states in N=1 supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills theory on the lattice

We extend our analysis of bound states in N = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory by the consideration of baryonic operators, which are composed of three gluino fields. The corresponding states are similar to the baryons in QCD, but due to the difference between gluino and quark fields, their properties and the fermion line contractions involved in their correlation functions are different from QCD. In this work, we first explain the derivation of these operators and the contractions needed in numerical calculations of their correlators. In contrast to QCD the correlators contain a spectacle piece, which requires methods for all-to all propagators. We provide a first estimate of the two-point function and the mass of the lightest baryonic state in N = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory.

We extend our analysis of bound states in N = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory by considering baryonic operators composed of three gluino fields. These states are similar to baryons in QCD, but their properties and the fermion line contractions involved in their correlation functions are different due to the difference between gluino and quark fields. In this work, we explain the derivation of these operators and the contractions needed in numerical calculations of their correlators, and provide an initial estimate of the two-point function and the mass of the lightest baryonic state in N = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory.
