Abstract

We present a quenched lattice calculation of the weak nucleon form factors: vector [F{sub V}(q{sup 2})], induced tensor [F{sub T}(q{sup 2})], axial vector [F{sub A}(q{sup 2})] and induced pseudoscalar [F{sub P}(q{sup 2})] form factors. Our simulations are performed on three different lattice sizes L{sup 3}xT=24{sup 3}x32, 16{sup 3}x32, and 12{sup 3}x32 with a lattice cutoff of a{sup -1}{approx_equal}1.3 GeV and light quark masses down to about 1/4 the strange quark mass (m{sub {pi}}{approx_equal}390 MeV) using a combination of the DBW2 gauge action and domain wall fermions. The physical volume of our largest lattice is about (3.6 fm){sup 3}, where the finite volume effects on form factors become negligible and the lower momentum transfers (q{sup 2}{approx_equal}0.1 GeV{sup 2}) are accessible. The q{sup 2} dependences of form factors in the low q{sup 2} region are examined. It is found that the vector, induced tensor, and axial-vector form factors are well described by the dipole form, while the induced pseudoscalar form factor is consistent with pion-pole dominance. We obtain the ratio of axial to vector coupling g{sub A}/g{sub V}=F{sub A}(0)/F{sub V}(0)=1.219(38) and the pseudoscalar coupling g{sub P}=m{sub {mu}}F{sub P}(0.88m{sub {mu}}{sup 2})=8.15(54), where the errors are statistical errors only. These values agree with experimentalmore »« less

However, the root mean-squared radii of the vector, induced tensor, and axial vector underestimate the known experimental values by about 20%. We also calculate the pseudoscalar nucleon matrix element in order to verify the axial Ward-Takahashi identity in terms of the nucleon matrix elements, which may be called as the generalized Goldberger-Treiman relation.},

Nucleon structure with two flavors of dynamical domain-wall fermions

Journal Article Lin, H -W ; RIKEN-BNL Research Center, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York 11973 ; Blum, Tom ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We present a numerical lattice quantum chromodynamics calculation of isovector form factors and the first few moments of the isovector structure functions of the nucleon. The calculation employs two degenerate dynamical flavors of domain-wall fermions, resulting in good control of chiral symmetry breaking. Nonperturbative renormalization of the relevant quark currents is performed where necessary. The DBW2 gauge action is used to further improve the chiral behavior while maintaining a reasonable physical lattice volume. The inverse lattice spacing, a{sup -1}, is approximately 1.7 GeV. Degenerate up and down dynamical quark masses of approximately 1, 3/4 and 1/2 times the strange quarkmore »« less

Nucleon form factors with 2+1 flavor dynamical domain-wall fermions

Journal Article Yamazaki, Takeshi ; Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606-8502 ; Aoki, Yasumichi ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We report our numerical lattice QCD calculations of the isovector nucleon form factors for the vector and axial-vector currents: the vector, induced tensor, axial-vector, and induced pseudoscalar form factors. The calculation is carried out with the gauge configurations generated with N{sub f}=2+1 dynamical domain-wall fermions and Iwasaki gauge actions at {beta}=2.13, corresponding to a cutoff a{sup -1}=1.73 GeV, and a spatial volume of (2.7 fm){sup 3}. The up and down-quark masses are varied so the pion mass lies between 0.33 and 0.67 GeV while the strange quark mass is about 12% heavier than the physical one. We calculate the formmore »« less

Axial-vector form factors of the nucleon from lattice QCD

Journal Article Gupta, Rajan ; Jang, Yong-Chull ; Lin, Huey-Wen ; ... - Physical Review D

In this paper, we present results for the form factors of the isovector axial vector current in the nucleon state using large scale simulations of lattice QCD. The calculations were done using eight ensembles of gauge configurations generated by the MILC collaboration using the HISQ action with 2 + 1 + 1 dynamical flavors. These ensembles span three lattice spacings a ≈ 0.06 , 0.09, and 0.12 fm and light-quark masses corresponding to the pion masses M _π ≈ 135, 225, and 310 MeV. High-statistics estimates allow us to quantify systematic uncertainties in the extraction of G _A (Q ²)more »« less

Vector form factor in K{sub l3} semileptonic decay with two flavors of dynamical domain-wall quarks

Journal Article Dawson, Chris ; Izubuchi, Taku ; Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Ishikawa 920-1192 ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We calculate the vector form factor in K{yields}{pi}l{nu} semileptonic decays at zero momentum transfer f{sub +}(0) from numerical simulations of two-flavor QCD on the lattice. Our simulations are carried out on 16{sup 3}x32 at a lattice spacing of a{approx_equal}0.12 fm using a combination of the DBW2 gauge and the domain-wall quark actions, which possesses excellent chiral symmetry even at finite lattice spacings. The size of fifth dimension is set to L{sub s}=12, which leads to a residual quark mass of a few MeV. Through a set of double ratios of correlation functions, the form factor calculated on the lattice ismore »« less
