摘要
We present evidence for unquenching effects in N-f = 2, 16(3)32 ensembles by comparing with `equivalent' quenched data at (r) over cap (0) similar or equal to 5.0. A (small) VEV for torelons signals (weak) string breaking. A 15 - 20% reduction in the scalar glueball mass relative to quenched is argued to be (in part at least) a discretisation effect. We find a chiral suppression of the topological susceptibility consistent with expectations, and agreement between fermionic and gluonic methods for measuring the topological charge.
