Analyzing correlation functions of charmonia at finite temperature ($T$) on $32^3times(32-96)$ anisotropic lattices by the maximum entropy method (MEM), we find that $J/psi$ and $eta_c$ survive as distinct resonances in the plasma even up to $T simeq 1.6 T_c$ and that they eventually dissociate between $1.6 T_c$ and $1.9 T_c$ ($T_c$ is the critical temperature of deconfinement). This suggests that the deconfined plasma is non-perturbative enough to hold heavy-quark bound states. The importance of having sufficient number of temporal data points in MEM analyses is also emphasized.

Lattice QCD calculations of form factors for rare Standard Model processes such as $B to K ell^+ ell^-$ use tensor currents that require renormalisation. These renormalisation factors, $Z_T$, have typically been calculated within perturbation theory and the estimated uncertainties from missing higher order terms are significant. Here we study tensor current renormalisation using lattice implementations of momentum-subtraction schemes. Such schemes are potentially more accurate but have systematic errors from nonperturbative artefacts. To determine and remove these condensate contributions we calculate the ground-state charmonium tensor decay constant, $f_{J/psi}^T$, which is also of interest in beyond the Standard Model studies. We obtain $f_{J/psi}^T(bar{text{MS}}, 2 mathrm{GeV})=0.3927(27)$ GeV, with ratio to the vector decay constant of 0.9569(52), significantly below 1. We also give $Z_T$ factors, converted to the $bar{mathrm{MS}}$ scheme, corrected for condensate contamination. This contamination reaches 1.5% at a renormalisation scale of 2 GeV (in the preferred RI-SMOM scheme) and so must be removed for accurate results.
We present a lattice QCD study of $Npi$ scattering in the positive-parity nucleon channel, where the puzzling Roper resonance $N^*(1440)$ resides in experiment. The study is based on the PACS-CS ensemble of gauge configurations with $N_f=2+1$ Wilson-clover dynamical fermions, $m_pi simeq 156~$MeV and $Lsimeq 2.9~$fm. In addition to a number of $qqq$ interpolating fields, we implement operators for $Npi$ in $p$-wave and $Nsigma$ in $s$-wave. In the center-of-momentum frame we find three eigenstates below 1.65 GeV. They are dominated by $N(0)$, $N(0)pi(0)pi(0)$ (mixed with $N(0)sigma(0)$) and $N(p)pi(-p)$ with $psimeq 2pi/L$, where momenta are given in parentheses. This is the first simulation where the expected multi-hadron states are found in this channel. The experimental $Npi$ phase-shift would -- in the approximation of purely elastic $Npi$ scattering -- imply an additional eigenstate near the Roper mass $m_Rsimeq 1.43~$GeV for our lattice size. We do not observe any such additional eigenstate, which indicates that $Npi$ elastic scattering alone does not render a low-lying Roper. Coupling with other channels, most notably with $Npipi$, seems to be important for generating the Roper resonance, reinforcing the notion that this state could be a dynamically generated resonance. Our results are in line with most of previous lattice studies based just on $qqq$ interpolators, that did not find a Roper eigenstate below $1.65~$GeV. The study of the coupled-channel scattering including a three-particle decay $Npipi$ remains a challenge.
We evaluate the isovector nucleon electromagnetic form factors in quenched and full QCD on the lattice using Wilson fermions. In the quenched theory we use a lattice of spatial size 3 fm at beta=6.0 enabling us to reach low momentum transfers and a lowest pion mass of about 400 MeV. In the full theory we use a lattice of spatial size 1.9 fm at beta=5.6 and lowest pion mass of about 380 MeV enabling comparison with the results obtained in the quenched theory. We compare our lattice results to the isovector part of the experimentally measured form factors.
We present the first calculation on the $Delta$ axial-vector and pseudoscalar form factors using lattice QCD. Two Goldberger-Treiman relations are derived and examined. A combined chiral fit is performed to the nucleon axial charge, N to $Delta$ axial transition coupling constant and $Delta$ axial charge.
We have performed the first $n_f = 2+1+1$ lattice QCD computations of the properties (masses and decay constants) of ground-state charmonium mesons. Our calculation uses the HISQ action to generate quark-line connected two-point correlation functions on MILC gluon field configurations that include $u/d$ quark masses going down to the physical point, tuning the $c$ quark mass from $M_{J/psi}$ and including the effect of the $c$ quarks electric charge through quenched QED. We obtain $M_{J/psi}-M_{eta_c}$ (connected) = 120.3(1.1) MeV and interpret the difference with experiment as the impact on $M_{eta_c}$ of its decay to gluons, missing from the lattice calculation. This allows us to determine $Delta M_{eta_c}^{mathrm{annihiln}}$ =+7.3(1.2) MeV, giving its value for the first time. Our result of $f_{J/psi}=$ 0.4104(17) GeV, gives $Gamma(J/psi rightarrow e^+e^-)$=5.637(49) keV, in agreement with, but now more accurate than experiment. At the same time we have improved the determination of the $c$ quark mass, including the impact of quenched QED to give $overline{m}_c(3,mathrm{GeV})$ = 0.9841(51) GeV. We have also used the time-moments of the vector charmonium current-current correlators to improve the lattice QCD result for the $c$ quark HVP contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. We obtain $a_{mu}^c = 14.638(47) times 10^{-10}$, which is 2.5$sigma$ higher than the value derived using moments extracted from some sets of experimental data on $R(e^+e^- rightarrow mathrm{hadrons})$. This value for $a_{mu}^c$ includes our determination of the effect of QED on this quantity, $delta a_{mu}^c = 0.0313(28) times 10^{-10}$.
