Abstract

We perform a lattice mass analysis in the flavor singlet pseudoscalar channel on the SESAM and TχL full QCD vacuum configurations, with 2 active flavors of dynamical Wilson fermions at β=5.6. At our inverse lattice spacing, a<sup>-1</sup>≈2.3 GeV, we retrieve by a chiral extrapolation to the physical light quark masses the value m<sub>η</sub>′=3.7<sub>-4</sub><sup>+8</sup>m<sub>π</sub>. A crude extrapolation from (Nf=3) phenomenology would suggest m<sub>η</sub>′≈5.1m<sub>π</sub> for Nf=2 QCD. We verify that the mass gap between the singlet state η′ and the π flavor triplet state is due to gauge configurations with nontrivial topology.
