We study nuclear and neutron matter by combining chiral effective field theory with non-perturbative lattice methods. In our approach nucleons and pions are treated as point particles on a lattice. This allows us to probe larger volumes,…
The reduced matrix elements a_2 and d_2 are computed in lattice QCD with N_f=2 flavors of light dynamical (sea) quarks. For proton and neutron targets we obtain as our best estimates d_2^(p)=0.004(5) and d_2^(n)=-0.001(3), respectively, in…
Calculation of ratio of the nucleon axial and vector coupling constants $G_A/G_V$ in the framework of the quasipotential quark model has been performed. It was shown that in this model $G_A/G_V$ is defined by the ratio of the corresponding…
We present results for the nucleon form factors: electric ($G_E$), magnetic ($G_M$), axial ($F_A$), induced pseudoscalar ($F_P$) and pseudoscalar ($G_P$) form factors, using the second PACS10 ensemble that is one of three sets of $2+1$…

This document is one of a series of whitepapers from the USQCD collaboration. Here, we discuss opportunities for Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (LQCD) in the research frontier in fundamental symmetries and signals for new physics. LQCD, in…
One possible low energy process due to beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics is the neutron-antineutron transition, where baryon number changes by two units. In addition to providing a source of baryon number violation in the early…

The theory of the strong force, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) remains one of the most important ways to understand the fundamental properties of ordinary matter. However, at low momentum transfer Q2, in the regime where the strong force…
