BinningBinning

Local vector correlator

Over sample & average into bins

4 time-planes, 215 configs separated by 10 trajectories

Choose bin size 5-10 since int ~ 100 trajectories

Full correlated analysis with binned data as input

Errors stabilise as bin size > int as expected

Get independent data with low variance

Summary and conclusionsSummary and conclusions Many ensembles created on QCDOC – some

with limited statistics/small volumes Only two quark masses for most values – need

third point to improve error estimates Finite size effects Ls = 8 too small – need increased Ls to decrease

mres

– Analysising 163x32 with Ls=16 (Dave Antonio’s talk) Scaling unclear as errors are large In production: Iwasaki = 2.13, 243x64, Ls = 16

ensembles with 2+1 quark flavours and three quark mass values: 0.01/0.02/0.03 – Finite volume effects ?
