We study one pion emission decay of the first excited state of the nucleon with negative parity $N(1535) \equiv N^*$ in the holographic model of QCD. The excited state is described as a vibrational mode along the extra $z$ direction in the…

Requiring the positivity and counting rule, we propose a new parametrization of the polarized parton distribution which reproduce the data well. We found that the NLO analysis is absolutely necessary to extract the correct information on…

We study the coupled pion-nucleon system (negative parity, isospin 1/2) based on a lattice QCD simulation for nf=2 mass degenerate light quarks. Both, standard 3-quarks baryon operators as well as meson-baryon (4+1)-quark operators are…
Results are presented for the nucleon isovector electromagnetic form factors using 11 ensembles generated by the MILC collaboration using the 2+1+1-flavors HISQ action. They span 4 lattice spacings $a \sim$ 0.06, 0.09, 0.12 and 0.15~fm and…

The role of the nucleon resonances ($N^*$) in $\omega$ photoproduction is investigated by using the resonance parameters predicted by Capstick and Roberts [Phys. Rev. D {\bf 46}, 2864 (1992); {\bf 49}, 4570 (1994)]. In contrast with the…

Major breakthroughs over the last two decades have led us to access information on how the nucleon's mass, spin and mechanical properties are generated from its quark and gluon degrees of freedom. On one side, a theoretical framework has…
The properties of nuclear matter and finite nuclei are studied within the quark mean field (QMF) model by taking the effects of pion and gluon into account at the quark level. The nucleon is described as the combination of three constituent…

We perform a global fit of parton distribution functions (PDFs) together with the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ and the quark masses $m_c$, $m_b$ and $m_t$ at next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD. The analysis applies the…
We present the first lattice QCD calculation of the leading-order momentum-independent parity violating coupling between pions and nucleons, $h_{\pi{NN}}^1$. The calculation performs measurements on dynamical anisotropic clover gauge…
We use QCD sum rules to obtain the weak parity-violating pion-nucleon coupling constant $f_{\pi NN}$. We find that $f_{\pi NN}\approx 2\times 10^{-8}$, about an order of magnitude smaller than the ``best estimates'' based on quark models.…

It is imperative that lattice QCD serve to develop our understanding of hadron structure and, where possible, to guide the interpretation of experimental data. There is now a great deal of effort directed at the calculation of the…
