Pion electric polarizabilities from lattice QCD

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2022-01-06 v1

Abstract

We report a first principle lattice calculation of the pion electric polarizability απ\alpha_\pi at the physical pion mass. First, we derive the master formula, which relates the pion polarizabilities with the position space hadronic Compton tensor, πJμ(x)Jν(0)π\langle \pi | J_\mu(x) J_\nu(0) | \pi \rangle. The finite volume error of the master formula is exponentially suppressed by the spatial extent of the lattice. Then, the hadronic tensor is calculated using domain wall fermions (DWF) directly at physical pion mass. The gauge ensembles are generated by the RBC-UKQCD collaborations.
