Multi-nucleon bound states in Nf=2+1N_f=2+1 lattice QCD

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We report on our on-going effort to calculate the properties of light nuclei directly from quarks and gluons based on lattice QCD. After briefly introducing our motivations and aims, we describe our strategy of fixing the strange quark mass at its physical value and approaching the physical point for the up and down quark masses step by step from the region of heavy quark masses. A successful calculation for the pion mass of 0.51GeV is reviewed, and the status for a lighter pion mass of 0.30GeV is reported.
