Magnetic Polarizability of Hadrons from Dynamical Configurations Scott Moerschbacher The George Washington University Lattice 2008, July 14
Outline of Talk • Magnetic Polarizability Physics • Lattice Calculation • Results of Simulations • Future Possibilities
Classical Polarizability • The polarizability is the proportionality constant between the induced dipole moment and the field.
Lattice Approach • CP-PACS Dynamical Configurations: Simulation Parameters
Lattice Approach • Nucleon interpolating fields • Correlation Functions
Background Field Method • Introduce the magnetic field as a phase onto the lattice links Covariant Derivative:
Linear vs. exponential • Do we linear-ize??
Extraction of Polarizability • Expand the mass shift as a polynomial in the field:
Conclusions… • What have we learned?? • a=0.2 is too coarse • Perhaps the field should be introduced as an exponential phase…
What next?? • Better statistics • Introduce the field at the point of configuration generation • And of coarse.. Smaller spacings and quark masses..
