Description

We use overlap valence quarks on the $L^3\times T=48^3\times 96$ $N_f=2+1$ domain-wall fermion configurations generated by the RBC\&UKQCD Collaboration. The light sea quark mass is at the physical point and the spatial extension is 5.5 fm. The $\rho$ mass is precisely determined to be $m_\rho=778(9)$ MeV at the physical pion mass. We also propose a strategy to reduce the noise of the wall-wall correlation functions of hadrons, through which the leptonic decay constant of $\rho$, $f_\rho$, is determined to be 209(4) MeV at the physical $m_\pi$. This value is in excellent agreement with the experimental value $f_\rho=208$ MeV derived from the process $\tau\rightarrow \rho \nu_\tau$.
