Partially quenched chiral perturbation theory in the ε-regime

We calculate meson correlators in the epsilon-regime within partially quenched chiral perturbation theory. The valence quark masses and sea quark masses can be chosen arbitrary and all non-degenerate. Taking some of the sea quark masses to infinity, one obtains a smooth connection among the theories with different number of flavors, as well as the quenched theory. These results can be directly compared with lattice QCD simulations. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
