Lattice QCD has reached a mature status. State of the art lattice computations include $u,d,s$ (and even the $c$) sea quark effects, together with an estimate of electromagnetic and isospin breaking corrections for hadronic observables.…
The current status of some nucleon isovector observables, the vector charge, \(g_V\), axial charge, \(g_A\), quark momentum fraction, \(\langle x \rangle_{u-d}\), and quark helicity fraction, \(\langle x \rangle_{\Delta u - \Delta d}\),…

Experimental studies of neutron decay, $n\to pe\bar\nu$, exhibit two anomalies. The first is a 8.6(2.1)s, roughly $4\sigma$ difference between the average beam measured neutron lifetime, $\tau_n^\text{beam}=888.0(2.0)$s, and the more…

A complete description of the nucleon structure in terms of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) at twist 2 level requires the measurement/computation of the eight functions H, E, \tilde H, \tilde E, H_T, E_T, \tilde H_T and \tilde E_T,…

As we search for an ever deeper understanding of the structure of hadronic matter one of the most fundamental questions is whether or not one can make a connection to the underlying theory of the strong interaction, QCD. We build on recent…
We study the nucleon axial charge in the chiral perturbation theory for a mixed lattice action of Ginsparg-Wilson valence quarks and staggered sea quarks. In particular, we investigate the lattice spacing $a^2$-dependence of the neutron to…
