Calculation of the pion electromagnetic form factor from lattice QCD
Bastian B. Brandt ; Andreas Juttner ; Hartmut Wittig ;
Date 1 Sep 2011
AbstractWe present a lattice calculation of the vector form factor of the pion for two flavours of non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions. For the measurements we utilise the CLS ensembles which include various lattice spacings and pion masses down to about 250 MeV. To obtain a fine momentum resolution near zero momentum transfer (q^2) partially twisted boundary conditions are employed using several twist angles. Due to the fine resolution around q^2=0 we are able to determine the slope of the form factor and, in turn, extract the charge radius of the pion without any model dependence. The results for the form factor and the charge radius are then compared to chiral perturbation theory and phenomenological models which are used to extrapolate the results to the physical point.
