Axial-vector form factors of the nucleon from lattice QCD
Abstract
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 Mπ ≈ 135, 225, and 310 MeV. High-statistics estimates allow us to quantify systematic uncertainties in the extraction of GA (Q2) and the induced pseudoscalar form factor GP(Q2) . We perform a simultaneous extrapolation in the lattice spacing, lattice volume and light-quark masses of the axial charge radius rA data to obtain physical estimates. Using the dipole ansatz to fit the Q2 behavior we obtain rA |dipole = 0.49(3) fm , which corresponds to MA = 1.39(9) GeV , and is consistent with MA = 1.35(17) GeV obtained by the miniBooNE collaboration. The estimate obtained using the z -expansion is rA |z - expansion = 0.46(6) fm, and the combined result is rA | combined = 0.48(4) fm. Analysis of the induced pseudoscalar formmore »

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.

High-statistics estimates allow us to quantify systematic uncertainties in the extraction of GA (Q2) and the induced pseudoscalar form factor GP(Q2) . We perform a simultaneous extrapolation in the lattice spacing, lattice volume and light-quark masses of the axial charge radius rA data to obtain physical estimates. Using the dipole ansatz to fit the Q2 behavior we obtain rA |dipole = 0.49(3) fm , which corresponds to MA = 1.39(9) GeV , and is consistent with MA = 1.35(17) GeV obtained by the miniBooNE collaboration. The estimate obtained using the z -expansion is rA |z - expansion = 0.46(6) fm, and the combined result is rA | combined = 0.48(4) fm. Analysis of the induced pseudoscalar form factor GP (Q2) yields low estimates for g*P and gπNN compared to their phenomenological values. To understand these, we analyze the partially conserved axial current (PCAC) relation by also calculating the pseudoscalar form factor. Lastly, we find that these low values are due to large deviations in the PCAC relation between the three form factors, and in the pion-pole dominance hypothesis.},
