Abstract

We present an update on the status of the calculations of isovector and flavor-diagonal charges of the nucleon. The calculations of the isovector charges are being done using ten 2+1+12+1+1-flavor HISQ ensembles generated by the MILC collaboration covering the range of lattice spacings aa \approx 0.12, 0.09, 0.06 fm and pion masses MπM_\pi \approx 310, 220, 130 MeV. Excited-states contamination is controlled by using four-state fits to two-point correlators and three-states fits to the three-point correlators. The calculations of the disconnected diagrams needed to estimate flavor-diagonal charges are being done on a subset of six ensembles using the stocastic method. Final results are obtained using a simultaneous fit in Mπ2M_\pi^2, the lattice spacing aa and the finite volume parameter MπLM_\pi L keeping only the leading order corrections.
