Excited state systematics in extracting nucleon electromagnetic form factors

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2012-11-07 v1

Abstract

We present updated preliminary results for the nucleon electromagnetic form factors for non-perturbatively O(a)\mathcal{O}(a) improved Wilson fermions in Nf=2N_f=2 QCD measured on the CLS ensembles. The use of the summed operator insertion method allows us to suppress the influence of excited states in our measurements. A study of the effect that excited state contaminations have on the Q2Q^2 dependence of the extracted nucleon form factors may then be made through comparisons of the summation method to standard plateau fits, as well as to excited state fits.
