Diquark effects in light baryon correlators from lattice QCD

We study the role of diquarks in light baryons through point-to-point baryon correlators. We contrast results from quenched simulations with ones with two flavors of dynamical overlap fermions. The scalar, pseudoscalar, and axial vector diquarks are combined with light quarks to form color singlets. The quenched simulation shows large zero-mode effects in correlators containing the scalar and pseudoscalar diquark. The two scalar diquarks created by gamma(5) and gamma(0)gamma(5) lead to different behavior in baryon correlators, showing that the interaction of diquarks with the third light quark matters: we do not see an isolated diquark. In our quark mass range, the scalar diquark created by gamma(5) seems to play a greater role than the others.
