Experiences with the Polynomial Hybrid Monte Carlo Algorithm

Abstract

We discuss a simulation algorithm for dynamical fermions, which combines the multiboson technique with the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. The algorithm turns out to give a substantial gain over standard methods in practical simulations and to be suitable for dealing with fermion zero modes in a clean and controllable way.
