Background field methods provide an important nonperturbative formalism for the determination of hadronic properties which are complementary to matrix-element calculations. However, new challenges are encountered when utilising a fermion action exposed to additive mass renormalisations. In this case, the background field can induce an undesired field-dependent additive mass renormalisation that acts to change the quark mass as the background field is changed. For example, in a calculation utilising Wilson fermions in a uniform background magnetic field, the Wilson term introduced a field-dependent renormalisation to the quark mass which manifests itself in an unphysical increase of the neutral-pion mass for large magnetic fields. Herein, the clover fermion action is studied to determine the extent to which the removal of $mathcal{O}(a)$ discretisation errors suppresses the field-dependent changes to the quark mass. We illustrate how a careful treatment of nonperturbative improvement is necessary to resolve this artefact of the Wilson term. Using the $32^3 times 64$ dynamical-fermion lattices provided by the PACS-CS Collaboration we demonstrate how our technique suppresses the unphysical mass renormalisation over a broad range of magnetic field strengths.

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 calculate the magnetic dipole moment of the Delta(1232) and Omega^- baryons with 2+1-flavors of clover fermions on anisotropic lattices using a background magnetic field. This is the first dynamical calculation of these magnetic moments using a background field technique. The calculation for Omega^- is done at the physical strange quark mass, with the result in units of the physical nuclear magneton mu_Omega^-= -1.93(8)(12) (where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic) compared to the experimental number: -2.02(5). The Delta has been studied at three unphysical quark masses, corresponding to pion mass m_pi = 366, 438, and 548 MeV. The pion mass dependence is compared with the behavior obtained from chiral effective field theory.
We present a determination of the ratio of kaon and pion leptonic decay constants in isosymmetric QCD (isoQCD), $f_K / f_pi$, making use of the gauge ensembles produced by the Extended Twisted Mass Collaboration (ETMC) with $N_f = 2 + 1 + 1$ flavors of Wilson-clover twisted-mass quarks, including configurations close to the physical point for all dynamical flavors. The simulations are carried out at three values of the lattice spacing ranging from $sim 0.068$ to $sim 0.092$ fm with linear lattice size up to $L sim 5.5$~fm. The scale is set by the PDG value of the pion decay constant, $f_pi^{isoQCD} = 130.4~(2)$ MeV, at the isoQCD pion point, $M_pi^{isoQCD} = 135.0~(2)$ MeV, obtaining for the gradient-flow (GF) scales the values $w_0 = 0.17383~(63)$ fm, $sqrt{t_0} = 0.14436~(61)$ fm and $t_0 / w_0 = 0.11969~(62)$ fm. The data are analyzed within the framework of SU(2) Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) without resorting to the use of renormalized quark masses. Fixing the strange quark mass by using $M_K^{isoQCD} = 494.2~(4)$ MeV, we get $(f_K / f_pi)^{isoQCD} = 1.1995~(44)$ fm, where the error includes both statistical and systematic uncertainties. Implications for the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element $|V_{us}|$ and for the first-row CKM unitarity are discussed.
We calculate the magnetic dipole moment of the Delta baryon using a background magnetic field on 2+1-flavors of clover fermions on anisotropic lattices. We focus on the finite volume effects that can be significant in background field studies, and thus we use two different spatial volumes in addition to several quark masses.
Overlap fermions are a powerful tool for investigating the chiral and topological structure of the vacuum and the thermal states of QCD. We study various chiral and topological aspects of the finite temperature phase transition of N_f=2 flavours of O(a) improved Wilson fermions, using valence overlap fermions as a probe. Particular emphasis is placed upon the analysis of the spectral density and the localisation properties of the eigenmodes as well as on the local structure of topological charge fluctuations in the vicinity of the chiral phase transition. The calculations are done on 16^3x8 lattices generated by the DIK collaboration.
