We report on our calculation of the nucleon axial charge gA in QCD with two flavours of dynamical quarks.
- A detailed investigation of systematic errors is performed, with a particular focus on contributions from excited states to three-point correlation functions.
- The use of summed operator insertions allows for a much better control over such contamination.
- After performing a chiral extrapolation to the physical pion mass, we find gA=1.223 +/- 0.063 (stat) +0.035 -0.060 (syst), in good agreement with the experimental value.
