Abstract

We present a study on ab-initio calculations of three-neutron correlators from Lattice QCD. We extend the method of baryon blocks to systems of three spacially displaced baryons. This allows the measurement of three-neutron pp-wave correlators with total spin S=1/2S=1/2 and 3/23/2. In addition, we use automatic code generation that has high flexibility and allows for easy inclusion of additional channels in the future while optimizing the evaluation of contractions. Our measurements were performed on a newly generated 96×48396\times 48^3 Clover-Wilson gauge field ensemble with mπ370MeVm_{\pi} \approx 370\,\text{MeV}. We present preliminary results of our calculations of one pion and nucleon as well as two nucleon (2N2N) and three neutron (3n3n) correlators.
