Pion vector and scalar form factors with dynamical overlap quarks

We calculate the pion vector and scalar form factors in two-flavor QCD. Gauge configurations are generated with dynamical overlap quarks on a 16^3 x 32 lattice at a lattice spacing of 0.12 fm with sea quark masses down to a sixth of the physical strange quark mass. Contributions of disconnected diagrams to the scalar form factor is calculated employing the all-to-all quark propagators. We present a detailed comparison of the vector and scalar radii with chiral perturbation theory to two loops.

Pion form factor from all-to-all propagators of overlap quarks

We report on our calculation of the pion electromagnetic form factor with two-flavors of dynamical overlap quarks. Gauge configurations are generated using the Iwasaki gauge action on a 16^3 times 32 lattice at the lattice spacing of 0.12fm with sea quark masses down to m_s/6, where m_s is the physical strange quark mass. We describe our setup to measure the form factor through all-to-all quark propagators and present preliminary results.
