In this work we present the isovector flavor combination for the nucleon tensor charge extracted from lattice QCD simulations using overlap fermions on $N_f=2+1$ domain-wall configurations. The pion mass dependence is studied using six…
We report progress on calculating the $K_L$-$K_S$ mass difference in lattice QCD. T he calculation is performed on a 2+1 flavor, domain wall fermion, $16^3\times 32$ en semble with a 421 MeV pion mass. We include only current-current…
