Abstract

We present a detailed analysis of statistical and systematic errors in the calculation of matrix elements of iso-vector scalar, axial and tensor charges between a neutron and a proton state. These analyses are being done on dynamical Nf=2+1+1N_f=2+1+1 HISQ configurations generated by the MILC Collaboration using valence clover fermions. Using ensembles at three values of the lattice spacing (a=0.12, 0.09,a=0.12,\ 0.09, and 0.060.06 fm) and three values of the quark mass (Mπ310, 220M_\pi \approx 310,\ 220 and 130130 MeV) we find that the estimates of the tensor charge are stable and it can be extracted with 5%5\% precision with O(10,000) measurements. We also find that higher statistics are needed to resolve the various uncertainties in the calculation of gAg_A and improve the signal in gSg_S, which with present data has large errors. A brief status report on the mixing and renormalization of novel operators contributing to nEDM is also given.
