We explore three-nucleon forces (3NF) from lattice QCD simulations. Utilizing the Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter (NBS) wave function, two-nucleon forces (2NF) and 3NF are determined on the same footing. Quantum numbers of the three-nucleon (3N) system are chosen to be (I, J^P)=(1/2,1/2^+) (the triton channel). The enormous computational cost is reduced by employing the simplest geometrical configuration, where 3N are aligned linearly with an equal spacing. We perform lattice QCD simulations using Nf=2 dynamical clover fermion configurations generated by CP-PACS Collaboration, at the lattice spacing of a = 0.156 fm on a 16^3 x 32 lattice with a large quark mass corresponding to m(pi) = 1.13 GeV. Repulsive 3NF is found at short distance.
Three-nucleon forces (3NF) are investigated from two-flavor lattice QCD simulations. We utilize the Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter (NBS) wave function to determine two-nucleon forces (2NF) and 3NF in the same framework. As a first exploratory study, we extract 3NF in which three nucleons are aligned linearly with an equal spacing. This is the simplest geometrical configuration which reduces the huge computational cost of calculating the NBS wave function. Quantum numbers of the three-nucleon system are chosen to be (I, J^P)=(1/2,1/2^+) (the triton channel). Lattice QCD simulations are performed using N_f=2 dynamical clover fermion configurations at the lattice spacing of a = 0.156 fm on a 16^3 x 32 lattice with a large quark mass corresponding to m_pi= 1.13 GeV. We find repulsive 3NF at short distance in the triton channel. Several sources of systematic errors are also discussed.

We determine within lattice QCD, the nucleon spin carried by valence and sea quarks, and gluons. The calculation is performed using an ensemble of gauge configurations with two degenerate light quarks with mass fixed to approximately reproduce the physical pion mass. We find that the total angular momentum carried by the quarks in the nucleon is $J_{u+d+s}{=}0.408(61)_{rm stat.}(48)_{rm syst.}$ and the gluon contribution is $J_g {=}0.133(11)_{rm stat.}(14)_{rm syst.}$ giving a total of $J_N{=}0.54(6)_{rm stat.}(5)_{rm syst.}$ consistent with the spin sum. For the quark intrinsic spin contribution we obtain $frac{1}{2}Delta Sigma_{u+d+s}{=}0.201(17)_{rm stat.}(5)_{rm syst.}$. All quantities are given in the $overline{textrm{MS}}$ scheme at 2~GeV. The quark and gluon momentum fractions are also computed and add up to $langle xrangle_{u+d+s}+langle xrangle_g{=}0.804(121)_{rm stat.}(95)_{rm syst.}+0.267(12)_{rm stat.}(10)_{rm syst.}{=}1.07(12)_{rm stat.}(10)_{rm syst.}$ satisfying the momentum sum.
We study the three nucleon force in the triton channel using dynamical clover fermion lattice QCD. The Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter wave function is utilized to obtain the potentials among three nucleons. Since the straightforward calculation is prohibitively expensive, two different frameworks are developed to meet the challenge. In the first method, we study the effective two nucleon potentials in the three nucleon system, where the differences between the effective two nucleon potentials and the genuine two nucleon potentials correspond to the three nucleon system effect, part of which is originated from the three nucleon force. The calculation is performed using Nf=2 clover fermion at m(pi)= 1.13GeV generated by CP-PACS Collaboration, and Nf=2+1 clover fermion at m(pi)= 0.70, 0.57GeV generated by PACS-CS Collaboration. In the second method, we study the three nucleon system with 3D-configuration of nucleons fixed. This enables us to extract the three nucleon force directly, if both of parity-even and parity-odd two nucleon potentials are provided. Since parity-odd two nucleon potentials are not available in lattice QCD at this moment, we propose a new general procedure to identify the three nucleon force using only parity-even two nucleon potentials. The calculation are performed with Nf=2 clover fermion at m(pi)= 1.13GeV generated by CP-PACS Collaboration, employing the linear setup for the 3D-configuration. Preliminary results for the scalar/isoscalar three nucleon force are presented.
We study the KN interactions in the I(J^{pi})=0(1/2^-) and 1(1/2^-) channels and associated exotic state Theta^+ from 2+1 flavor full lattice QCD simulation for relatively heavy quark mass corresponding to m_{pi}=871 MeV. The s-wave KN potentials are obtained from the Bethe-Salpeter wave function by using the method recently developed by HAL QCD (Hadrons to Atomic nuclei from Lattice QCD) Collaboration. Potentials in both channels reveal short range repulsions: Strength of the repulsion is stronger in the I=1 potential, which is consistent with the prediction of the Tomozawa-Weinberg term. The I=0 potential is found to have attractive well at mid range. From these potentials, the $KN$ scattering phase shifts are calculated and compared with the experimental data.
