Axial-Current Matrix Elements in Light Nuclei from Lattice QCD
نویسندگان
چکیده
I present results from the first lattice QCD calculations of axial-current matrix elements in light nuclei, performed by the NPLQCD collaboration. Precision calculations of these matrix elements, and the subsequent extraction of multi-nucleon axial-current operators, are essential in refining theoretical predictions of the proton-proton fusion cross section, neutrino-nucleus cross sections and ββ -decay rates of nuclei. In addition, they are expected to shed light on the phenomenological quenching of gA that is required in nuclear many-body calculations.

Calculation of the heavy - hadron axial couplings g 1 , g 2 , and g 3 using lattice QCD
In a recent paper [arXiv:1109.2480] we have reported on a lattice QCD calculation of the heavyhadron axial couplings g1, g2, and g3. These quantities are low-energy constants of heavy-hadron chiral perturbation theory (HHχPT) and are related to the B∗B π, Σb Σb π, and Σ (∗) b Λb π couplings. In the following, we discuss important details of the calculation and give further results. To determine...
متن کاملSemileptonic Decays and Ckm Matrix Elements in a Tcf
We argue that a Tau-Charm factory (TCF) could improve our knowledge of CKM matrix elements since it is an incomparable tool to check the models and methods applied to extract Vbu from B decay partial widths. We report on some recent proposals to improve on parton model. Turning to exclusive decays, we compare the predictions from quark models, QCD sum rules, effective Lagrangians and lattice QC...
متن کاملElectroweak Matrix Elements in the Two - Nucleon Sector from Lattice QCD
We demonstrate how to make rigorous predictions for electroweak matrix elements in nuclear systems directly from QCD. More precisely, we show how to determine the short-distance contributions to low-momentum transfer electroweak matrix elements in the two-nucleon sector from lattice QCD. In potential model descriptions of multi-nucleon systems, this is equivalent to uniquely determining the mes...
متن کاملMatrix Elements of the Singlet Axial Current in the Proton
We present a method to estimate the matrix element of the singlet axial current within a polarized proton state using lattice QCD. The method relies on using the Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly and gives the desired result in the chiral limit. We show that this method fails in the quenched approximation. For heavy quarks one does not expect much diierence between simulations including dynamical quark...
متن کاملExact Matching Condition for Matrix Elements in Lattice and Ms Schemes
The exact matching condition is given for hadron matrix elements calculated in any two different schemes, in particular, in the lattice and dimensional regularization, (modified) minimal subtraction MS schemes. The result provides insight into and permits to go beyond Lepage and Mackenzie’s mean field theory of removing tadpole contributions in lattice operators. Typeset using REVTEX This work ...
