Electromagnetic vertex function of the pion at T > 0

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2011-09-13 v1

Abstract

The matrix element of the electromagnetic current between pion states is calculated in quenched lattice QCD at a temperature of T=0.93TcT = 0.93 T_c. The nonperturbatively improved Sheikholeslami-Wohlert action is used together with the corresponding O(a){\cal O}(a) improved vector current. The electromagnetic vertex function is extracted for pion masses down to 360MeV360 {\rm MeV} and momentum transfers Q22.7GeV2Q^2 \le 2.7 {\rm GeV}^2.
