Title: Nucleon Charges from 2+1+1-flavor HISQ and 2+1-flavor clover lattices

Journal Article · · PoS Proceedings of Science

Precise estimates of the nucleon charges gA, gS and gT are needed in many phenomenological analyses of SM and BSM physics. In this talk, we present results from two sets of calculations using clover fermions on 9 ensembles of 2+1+1-flavor HISQ and 4 ensembles of 2+1-flavor clover lattices. In addition, we show that high statistics can be obtained cost-effectively using the truncated solver method with bias correction and the coherent source sequential propagator technique. By performing simulations at 4–5 values of the source-sink separation tsep, we demonstrate control over excited-state contamination using 2- and 3-state fits. Using the high-precision 2+1+1-flavor data, we perform a simultaneous fit in a, Mπ and MπL to obtain our final results for the charges.
