The application of a uniform background magnetic field makes standard quark operators utilising gauge-covariant Gaussian smearing inefficient at isolating the ground state nucleon at nontrivial field strengths. In the absence of QCD interactions, Landau modes govern the quark energy levels. There is evidence that residual Landau mode effects remain when the strong interaction is turned on. Here we introduce novel quark operators constructed from the two-dimensional $U(1)$ Laplacian eigenmodes that describe the Landau levels of a charged particle on a periodic finite lattice. These eigenmode-projected quark operators provide enhanced precision for calculating nucleon energy shifts in a magnetic field. Using asymmetric source and sink operators, we are able to encapsulate the predominant effects of both the QCD and QED interactions in the interpolating fields for the neutron. The neutron magnetic polarizability is calculated using these techniques on the $32^3 times 64$ dynamical QCD lattices provided by the PACS-CS Collaboration. In conjunction with a chiral effective-field theory analysis, we obtain a neutron magnetic polarizability of $beta^n = 2.05(25)(19) times 10^{-4}$ fm$^3$, where the numbers in parentheses describe statistical and systematic uncertainties.

Conventional hadron interpolating fields, which utilise gauge-covariant Gaussian smearing, are ineffective in isolating ground state nucleons in a uniform background magnetic field. There is evidence that residual Landau mode physics remains at the quark level, even when QCD interactions are present. In this work, quark-level projection operators are constructed from the $SU(3) times U(1)$ eigenmodes of the two-dimensional lattice Laplacian operator associated with Landau modes. These quark-level modes are formed from a periodic finite lattice where both the background field and strong interactions are present. Using these eigenmodes, quark-propagator projection operators provides the enhanced hadronic energy-eigenstate isolation necessary for calculation of nucleon energy shifts in a magnetic field. The magnetic polarisability of both the proton and neutron is calculated using this method on the $32^3 times 64$ dynamical QCD lattices provided by the PACS-CS Collaboration. A chiral effective-field theory analysis is used to connect the lattice QCD results to the physical regime, obtaining magnetic polarisabilities of $beta^p = 2.79(22)({}^{+13}_{-18}) times 10^{-4}$ fm$^3$ and $beta^n = 2.06(26)({}^{+15}_{-20}) times 10^{-4}$ fm$^3$, where the numbers in parantheses describe statistical and systematic uncertainties.
The magnetic polarisability is a fundamental property of hadrons, which provides insight into their structure in the low-energy regime. The pion magnetic polarisability is calculated using lattice QCD in the presence of background magnetic fields. The results presented are facilitated by the introduction of a new magnetic-field dependent quark-propagator eigenmode projector and the use of the background-field corrected clover fermion action. The magnetic polarisabilities are calculated in a relativistic formalism, and the excellent signal-to-noise property of pion correlation functions facilitates precise values.
We will discuss the issue of Landau levels of quarks in lattice QCD in an external magnetic field. We will show that in the two-dimensional case the lowest Landau level can be identified unambiguously even if the strong interactions are turned on. Starting from this observation, we will then show how one can define a lowest Landau level in the four-dimensional case, and discuss how much of the observed effects of a magnetic field can be explained in terms of it. Our results can be used to test the validity of low-energy models of QCD that make use of the lowest-Landau-level approximation.
We calculate the fermion propagator and the quark-antiquark Greens functions for a complete set of ultralocal fermion bilinears, ${{cal O}_Gamma}$ [$Gamma$: scalar (S), pseudoscalar (P), vector (V), axial (A) and tensor (T)], using perturbation theory up to one-loop and to lowest order in the lattice spacing. We employ the staggered action for fermions and the Symanzik Improved action for gluons. From our calculations we determine the renormalization functions for the quark field and for all ultralocal taste-singlet bilinear operators. The novel aspect of our calculations is that the gluon links which appear both in the fermion action and in the definition of the bilinears have been improved by applying a stout smearing procedure up to two times, iteratively. Compared to most other improved formulations of staggered fermions, the above action, as well as the HISQ action, lead to smaller taste violating effects. The renormalization functions are presented in the RI$$ scheme; the dependence on all stout parameters, as well as on the coupling constant, the number of colors, the lattice spacing, the gauge fixing parameter and the renormalization scale, is shown explicitly. We apply our results to a nonperturbative study of the magnetic susceptibility of QCD at zero and finite temperature. In particular, we evaluate the tensor coefficient, $tau$, which is relevant to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.
Operators for simulating the scattering of two particles with spin are constructed. Three methods are shown to give the consistent lattice operators for PN, PV, VN and NN scattering, where P, V and N denote pseudoscalar meson, vector meson and nucleon. The projection method leads to one or several operators $O_{Gamma,r,n}$ that transform according to a given irreducible representation $Gamma$ and row r. However, it gives little guidance on which continuum quantum numbers of total J, spin S, orbital momentum L or single-particle helicities $lambda_{1,2}$ will be related with a given operator. This is remedied with the helicity and partial-wave methods. There first the operators with good continuum quantum numbers $(J,P,lambda_{1,2})$ or $(J,L,S)$ are constructed and then subduced to the irreps $Gamma$ of the discrete lattice group. The results indicate which linear combinations $O_{Gamma,r,n}$ of various n have to be employed in the simulations in order to enhance couplings to the states with desired continuum quantum numbers. The total momentum of two hadrons is restricted to zero since parity P is a good quantum number in this case.
