Disconnected quark loop contributions to nucleon observables in lattice QCD

Abdel-Rehim, A., Alexandrou, C., Constantinou, M. et al.

Understand

We perform a high statistics calculation of disconnected fermion loops on Graphics Processing Units for a range of nucleon matrix elements extracted using lattice QCD.

  • The isoscalar electromagnetic and axial vector form factors, the sigma-terms and the momentum fraction and helicity are among the quantities we evaluate.
  • We compare the disconnected contributions to the connected ones and give the physical implications on nucleon observables that probe its structure.
