    Hadron Electromagnetic Structure: Shedding Light on Models and their Mechanisms

    Full text link
    Strange quark contributions to the proton magnetic moment are estimated from a consideration of baryon magnetic moment sum rules. The environment sensitivity of quark contributions to baryon moments is emphasized. Pion cloud contributions to proton charge radii are examined in the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory. The absence of scalar-diquark clustering in the nucleon is discussed.Comment: Lattice '93 presentation. UU-File is a single postscript file of a 3 page manuscript including figures. Ohio State U.

    Essential Strangeness in Nucleon Magnetic Moments

    Effective quark magnetic moments are extracted from experimental measurements as a function of the strangeness magnetic moment of the nucleon. Assumptions made in even the most general quark model analyses are ruled out by this investigation. Ab initio QCD calculations demand a non-trivial role for strange quarks in the nucleon. The effective moments from QCD calculations are reproduced for a strangeness magnetic moment contribution to the proton of 0.11 μN\mu_N, which corresponds to F2s(0)=−0.33 μNF_2^s(0) = -0.33\ \mu_N.Comment: HYP '94 presentation.

    Over-Improved Stout-Link Smearing

    A new over-improved stout-link smearing algorithm, designed to stabilise instanton-like objects, is presented. A method for quantifying the selection of the over-improvement parameter, ϵ\epsilon, is demonstrated. The new smearing algorithm is compared with the original stout-link smearing, and Symanzik improved smearing through calculations of the topological charge and visualisations of the topological charge density.Comment: 9 pages, 18 figures, submitted to Physical Review

    Light Hadron Spectroscopy on Coarse Lattices with O(a^2) Mean-Field Improved Actions

    Get PDF
    The masses and dispersions of light hadrons are calculated in lattice QCD using an O(a^2) tadpole-improved gluon action and an O(a^2) tadpole-improved next-nearest-neighbor fermion action originally proposed by Hamber and Wu. Two lattices of constant volume with lattice spacings of approximately 0.40 fm and 0.24 fm are considered. The results reveal some scaling violations at the coarser lattice spacing on the order of 5%. At the finer lattice spacing, the calculated mass ratios reproduce state-of-the-art results using unimproved actions. Good dispersion and rotational invariance up to momenta of pa ~ 1 are also found. The relative merit of alternative choices for improvement operators is assessed through close comparisons with other plaquette-based tadpole-improved actions.Comment: 17 page RevTeX manuscript. 7 Figures.

    Chiral behavior of baryon magnetic moments

    Full text link
    The utility of chiral effective field theory, constructed in a manner in which loop contributions are suppressed as one moves outside the power-counting regime, is explored for baryon magnetic moments. Opportunities for the study of significant chiral curvature in valence and full QCD and the nontrivial behavior of strange- and light-quark contributions to the magnetic moment of the Lambda baryon are highlighted.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures; prepared for the proceedings of Achievements and New Directions in Subatomic Physics: Workshop in Honour of Tony Thomas' 60th Birthda
