We investigate properties of the $N$(nucleon)-$\Omega$(Omega) interaction in lattice QCD to seek for possible dibaryon states in the strangeness $-3$ channel. We calculate the $N\Omega$ potential through the equal-time Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter…
This document is one of a series of whitepapers from the USQCD collaboration. Here, we discuss opportunities for lattice QCD in neutrino-oscillation physics, which inevitably entails nucleon and nuclear structure. In addition to discussing…
We present results of our ongoing studies of an effective three-dimensional theory of thermal lattice QCD with heavy Wilson quarks. This is done by combined strong coupling and hopping parameter expansions. The full quark determinant of…
We extract the neutron electric dipole moment $\vert \vec{d}_N\vert$ within the lattice QCD formalism. We analyse one ensemble of $N_f=2+1+1$ twisted mass clover-improved fermions with lattice spacing of $a \simeq 0.08 \ {\rm fm}$ and…
The nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) potential is the residual interaction of the strong interaction in the low-energy region and is also the fundamental input to the study of atomic nuclei. Based on the non-perturbative properties of the quantum…
First results on the interaction between the $\phi$-meson and the nucleon ($N$) are presented based on the ($2+1$)-flavor lattice QCD simulations with nearly physical quark masses. Using the HAL QCD method, the spacetime correlation of the…

Lattice QCD calculations of two-nucleon systems are used to isolate the short-distance two-body electromagnetic contributions to the radiative capture process $np \to d\gamma$, and the photo-disintegration processes $\gamma^{(\ast)} d \to…
We review the potential method in lattice QCD, which has recently been proposed to extract nucleon-nucleon interactions via numerical simulations. We focus on the methodology of this approach by emphasizing the strategy of the potential…
We propose a method for the lattice QCD computation of nucleon-nucleon low-energy interactions. It consists in simulating QCD in the background of a ''electromagnetic" field whose potential is non-vanishing, but whose field strength is…
We present the first lattice QCD calculation of single-channel $DD$ scattering with quantum numbers $I(J^P)=1(0^+)$ and $0(1^-)$. The calculation is performed on the $2+1$ flavor Wilson-Clover ensembles with a lattice spacing $a\simeq…
We propose a fully non-perturbative method to compute inelastic lepton-nucleon ($\ell N$) scattering cross sections using lattice QCD. The method is applicable even at low energies, such as the energy region relevant for the recent and…
Experiments at Jefferson Laboratory, MIT-Bates, LEGS, Mainz, Bonn, GRAAL, and Spring-8 offer new opportunities to understand in detail how nucleon resonance ($N^*$) properties emerge from the nonperturbative aspects of QCD. Preliminary data…
We present a lattice QCD study of the phase shift of $I{=}2$ $\pi\pi$ scattering on the basis of two different approaches: the standard finite volume approach by Luscher and the recently introduced HAL QCD potential method. Quenched QCD…
Lattice QCD is progressing toward being able to impact our understanding of nuclei and nuclear processes. I discuss areas of nuclear physics that are becoming possible to explore with lattice QCD, the techniques that are currently available…
We study the potential of a static quark anti-quark pair in the range 0.05fm \leq r \leq 0.8fm, employing a sequence of lattices up to 64^4. Lattice artifacts in potential and force are investigated theoretically as well as numerically and…
The core ideas underlying a quantitative, bottom-up theory of nuclear structure, i.e., quantum nucleodynamics, are introduced. The replacement of the fictitious "mean-field" approximation of the nuclear force with the empirically-known…
Potentials of quark--anti-quark pairs are studied from the anti-q--q Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter (NBS) wave functions in quenched lattice QCD. With the use of a method which has been recently developed in the derivation of nuclear forces from QCD,…
We report the first lattice QCD result of the axial charge of N(1535), $g_A^{N^*N^*}$. The measurement is performed with two flavors of dynamical quarks employing the renormalization-group improved gauge action at $\beta$=1.95 and the…
It has been shown for the first time that $NN$ interaction, at least in some partial waves, can be quantitatively described by the superposition of a long-range one-pion exchange and a short-range mechanism based on the complex pole in the…
