Nucleon electromagnetic form factors and axial charge from CLS $N_mathrm{f}=2+1$ ensembles


Abstract in English

We present preliminary results on the electromagnetic form factors and axial charge of the nucleon from ensembles generated by the CLS effort with $N_mathrm{f}=2+1$ flavours of non-perturbatively $mathrm{O}(a)$-improved Wilson fermions and open temporal boundary conditions. Systematic effects due to excited-state contamination are accounted for using both two-state fits and the method of summed operator insertions. This exploratory analysis demonstrates the viability of obtaining precision baryon observables with $N_mathrm{f}=2+1$ flavours of Wilson fermions on fine lattices, aiming towards controlled chiral and continuum limits in the future.
