We present a simple parameterization of a running coupling constant, defined via the static potential, that interpolates between 2-loop QCD in the UV and the string prediction in the IR. Besides the usual $\Lam$-parameter and the string…
We present results on the axial, scalar and tensor isovector-couplings of the nucleon from 2+1 flavor lattice QCD with physical light quarks ($m_\pi$ = 135 MeV) in large spatial volume of (10.8 fm)$^3$. The calculations are carried out with…
