Nucleon Sigma Terms with $N_f = 2 + 1$ O($a$)-improved Wilson fermions

We present a lattice-QCD based analysis of the nucleon sigma terms using gauge ensembles with $N_f = 2 + 1$ flavors of ${\cal O}(a)$-improved Wilson fermions, with a complete error budget concerning excited-state contaminations, the chiral interpolation as well as finite-size and lattice spacing effects. We compute the sigma terms determined directly from the matrix elements of the scalar currents. The chiral interpolation is based on SU(3) baryon chiral perturbation theory using the extended on-mass shell renormalization scheme. For the pion nucleon sigma term, we obtain $σ_{πN} = (43.7\pm3.6)$ MeV, where the error includes our estimate of the aforementioned systematics. The tension with extractions based on dispersion theory persists at the 2.4-$σ$ level. For the strange sigma term, we obtain a non-zero value, $σ_s=(28.6\pm9.3)$ MeV.

The pion-nucleon sigma term with $N_f=2+1$ $\mathcal{O}(a)$-improved Wilson fermions

We present an analysis of the pion-nucleon sigma term on the CLS ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ flavors of $\mathcal{O}(a)$-improved Wilson fermions. We perform a chiral interpolation based on ensembles with pion masses ranging from 130 MeV to roughly 350 MeV. The analysis covers four lattice spacings between $a\approx [0.05 \, \rm{fm}\ldots 0.09\, \rm{fm}]$, allowing for an estimate of systematics associated with lattice artefacts.

Nucleon in a periodic magnetic field: Finite-volume aspects

The paper presents an extension and a refinement of our previous work on the extraction of the doubly virtual forward Compton scattering amplitude on the lattice by using the background field technique, Phys. Rev. D 95, 031502 (2017) (arXiv:1610.05545). The zero frequency limit for the periodic background field is discussed, in which the well-known result is reproduced. Further, an upper limit for the magnitude of the external field is established for which the perturbative treatment is still possible. Finally, the framework is set for the evaluation of the finite-volume corrections allowing for the analysis of upcoming lattice results.

Nucleon in a periodic magnetic field

The energy shift of a nucleon in a static periodic magnetic field is evaluated at second order in the external field strength in perturbation theory. It is shown that the measurement of this energy shift on the lattice allows one to determine the unknown subtraction function in the forward doubly virtual Compton scattering amplitude. The limits of applicability of the obtained formula for the energy shift are discussed.

A framework for the calculation of the $ΔNγ^*$ transition form factors on the lattice

Using the non-relativistic effective field theory framework in a finite volume, we discuss the extraction of the $ΔNγ^*$ transition form factors from lattice data. A counterpart of the Lüscher approach for the matrix elements of unstable states is formulated. In particular, we thoroughly discuss various kinematic settings, which are used in the calculation of the above matrix element on the lattice. The emerging Lüscher-Lellouch factor and the analytic continuation of the matrix elements into the complex plane are also considered in detail. A full group-theoretical analysis of the problem is made, including the partial-wave mixing and projecting out the invariant form factors from data.

The $B\to K^*$ form factors on the lattice

The extraction of the $B\to K^*$ transition form factors from lattice data is studied, applying non-relativistic effective field theory in a finite volume. The possible mixing of $πK$ and $ηK$ states is taken into account. The two-channel analogue of the Lellouch-Lüscher formula is reproduced. Due to the resonance nature of the $K^*$, an equation is derived, which allows to determine the form factors at the pole position in a process-independent manner. The infinitely-narrow width approximation of the results is discussed.
