Abstract

We present preliminary results on the electromagnetic form factors and axial charge of the nucleon from ensembles generated by the CLS effort with Nf=2+1N_\mathrm{f}=2+1 flavours of non-perturbatively O(a)\mathrm{O}(a)-improved Wilson fermions and open temporal boundary conditions. Systematic effects due to excited-state contamination are accounted for using both two-state fits and the method of summed operator insertions. This exploratory analysis demonstrates the viability of obtaining precision baryon observables with Nf=2+1N_\mathrm{f}=2+1 flavours of Wilson fermions on fine lattices, aiming towards controlled chiral and continuum limits in the future.
