Sea Quarks Contribution To The Nucleon Magnetic Moment And Charge Radius At The Physical Point, Raza Sabbir Sufian, Yi-Bo Yang, Jian Liang, Terrence Draper, Keh-Fei Liu Dec 2017

Sea Quarks Contribution To The Nucleon Magnetic Moment And Charge Radius At The Physical Point, Raza Sabbir Sufian, Yi-Bo Yang, Jian Liang, Terrence Draper, Keh-Fei Liu

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We report a comprehensive analysis of the light and strange disconnected-sea quarks contribution to the nucleon magnetic moment, charge radius, and the electric and magnetic form factors. The lattice QCD calculation includes ensembles across several lattice volumes and lattice spacings with one of the ensembles at the physical pion mass. We adopt a model-independent extrapolation of the nucleon magnetic moment and the charge radius. We have performed a simultaneous chiral, infinite volume, and continuum extrapolation in a global fit to calculate results in the continuum limit. We find that the combined light and strange disconnected-sea quarks contribution to the nucleon …


Lattice Calculation Of Nucleon Isovector Axial Charge With Improved Currents, Jian Liang, Yi-Bo Yang, Keh-Fei Liu, Andrei Alexandru, Terrence Draper, Raza Sabbir Sufian Aug 2017

Lattice Calculation Of Nucleon Isovector Axial Charge With Improved Currents, Jian Liang, Yi-Bo Yang, Keh-Fei Liu, Andrei Alexandru, Terrence Draper, Raza Sabbir Sufian

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We employ dimension-4 operators to improve the local vector and axial-vector currents and calculate the nucleon isovector axial coupling g3A with overlap valence on 2 + 1-flavor domain wall fermion (DWF) sea. Using the equality of g3A from the spatial and temporal components of the axial-vector current as a normalization condition, we find that g3A is increased by a few percent towards the experimental value. The excited-state contamination has been taken into account with three time separations between the source and sink. The improved axial charges g3A(24I) = 1.22(4)(3) …


Strange And Charm Quark Spins From The Anomalous Ward Identity, Ming Gong, Yi-Bo Yang, Jian Liang, Andrei Alexandru, Terrence Draper, Keh-Fei Liu Jun 2017

Strange And Charm Quark Spins From The Anomalous Ward Identity, Ming Gong, Yi-Bo Yang, Jian Liang, Andrei Alexandru, Terrence Draper, Keh-Fei Liu

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We present a calculation of the strange and charm quark contributions to the nucleon spin from the anomalous Ward identity (AWI). This is performed with overlap valence quarks on 2 + 1-flavor domain-wall fermion gauge configurations on a 243 × 64 lattice with lattice spacing a−1 = 1.73  GeV and the light sea mass at mπ = 330  MeV. To satisfy the AWI, the overlap fermion for the pseudoscalar density and the overlap Dirac operator for the topological density, which do not have multiplicative renormalization, are used to normalize the form factor of the local axial-vector current …


Perturbative Renormalization And Mixing Of Quark And Glue Energy-Momentum Tensors On The Lattice, Michael J. Glatzmaier, Keh-Fei Liu, Yi-Bo Yang Apr 2017

Perturbative Renormalization And Mixing Of Quark And Glue Energy-Momentum Tensors On The Lattice, Michael J. Glatzmaier, Keh-Fei Liu, Yi-Bo Yang

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We report the renormalization and mixing constants to one-loop order for the quark and gluon energy-momentum (EM) tensor operators on the lattice. A unique aspect of this mixing calculation is the definition of the glue EM tensor operator. The glue operator is comprised of gauge-field tensors constructed from the overlap Dirac operator. The resulting perturbative calculations are performed using methods similar to the Kawai approach using the Wilson fermion and gauge actions for all QCD vertices and the overlap Dirac operator to define the glue EM tensor. Our results are used to connect the lattice QCD results of quark and …


Glue Spin And Helicity In The Proton From Lattice Qcd, Yi-Bo Yang, Raza Sabbir Sufian, Andrei Alexandru, Terrence Draper, Michael J. Glatzmaier, Keh-Fei Liu, Yong Zhao Mar 2017

Glue Spin And Helicity In The Proton From Lattice Qcd, Yi-Bo Yang, Raza Sabbir Sufian, Andrei Alexandru, Terrence Draper, Michael J. Glatzmaier, Keh-Fei Liu, Yong Zhao

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We report the first lattice QCD calculation of the glue spin in the nucleon. The lattice calculation is carried out with valence overlap fermions on 2 + 1 flavor domain-wall fermion gauge configurations on four lattice spacings and four volumes including an ensemble with physical values for the quark masses. The glue spin SG in the Coulomb gauge in the modified minimal subtraction (MS¯) scheme is obtained with one-loop perturbative matching. We find the results fairly insensitive to lattice spacing and quark masses. We also find that the proton momentum dependence of SG in the range 0 ≤ |p …


Locality And Efficient Evaluation Of Lattice Composite Fields: Overlap-Based Gauge Operators, Andrei Alexandru, Ivan Horváth Jan 2017

Locality And Efficient Evaluation Of Lattice Composite Fields: Overlap-Based Gauge Operators, Andrei Alexandru, Ivan Horváth

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We propose a novel general approach to locality of lattice composite fields, which in case of QCD involves locality in both quark and gauge degrees of freedom. The method is applied to gauge operators based on the overlap Dirac matrix elements, showing for the first time their local nature on realistic path-integral backgrounds. The framework entails a method for efficient evaluation of such nonultralocal operators, whose computational cost is volume independent at fixed accuracy, and only grows logarithmically as this accuracy approaches zero. This makes computation of useful operators, such as overlap-based topological density, practical. The key notion underlying these …


Strange Quark Magnetic Moment Of The Nucleon At The Physical Point, Raza Sabbir Sufian, Yi-Bo Yang, Andrei Alexandru, Terrence Draper, Jian Liang, Keh-Fei Liu Jan 2017

Strange Quark Magnetic Moment Of The Nucleon At The Physical Point, Raza Sabbir Sufian, Yi-Bo Yang, Andrei Alexandru, Terrence Draper, Jian Liang, Keh-Fei Liu

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We report a lattice QCD calculation of the strange quark contribution to the nucleon’s magnetic moment and charge radius. This analysis presents the first direct determination of strange electromagnetic form factors including at the physical pion mass. We perform a model-independent extraction of the strange magnetic moment and the strange charge radius from the electromagnetic form factors in the momentum transfer range of 0.051  GeV2 ≲ Q2 ≲ 1.31  GeV2. The finite lattice spacing and finite volume corrections are included in a global fit with 24 valence quark masses on four lattices with different lattice spacings, …
