We present the results of an exploratory lattice QCD calculation of three-baryon systems through a high statistics study of one ensemble of anisotropic clover gauge-field configurations with a pion mass of m(pi) similar to 390 MeV. Because of the computational cost of the necessary contractions, we focus on correlation functions generated by interpolating operators with the quantum numbers of the Xi(0)Xi(0)n system, one of the least demanding three-baryon systems in terms of the number of contractions. We find that the ground state of this system has an energy of E-Xi 0 Xi 0n = 3877.9 +/- 6.9 +/- 9.2 +/- 3.3 MeV corresponding to an energy shift due to interactions of delta E-Xi 0 Xi 0n = E-Xi 0 Xi 0n - 2M(Xi 0) - M-n = 4.6 +/- 5.0 +/- 7.9 +/- 4.2 MeV. There are a significant number of time slices in the three-baryon correlation function for which the signal-to-noise ratio is only slowly degrading with time. This is in contrast to the exponential degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio that is observed at larger times, and is due to the suppressed overlap of the source and sink interpolating operators that are associated with the variance of the three-baryon correlation function onto the lightest eigenstates in the lattice volume (mesonic systems). As one of the motivations for this area of exploration is the calculation of the structure and reactions of light nuclei, we also present initial results for a system with the quantum numbers of the triton (pnn). This present work establishes a path to multibaryon systems, and shows that lattice QCD calculations of the properties and interactions of systems containing four and five baryons are now within sight.

Nuclear matrix elements from lattice QCD for electroweak and beyond-Standard-Model processes

Zohreh Davoudi, William Detmold, Phiala Shanahan, Kostas Orginos, Assumpta Parreno, Martin J. Savage, Michael L. Wagman

Summary: In the past decade, numerical solutions of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) using lattice QCD techniques have advanced to the point of connecting fundamental aspects of nuclear physics with the underlying degrees of freedom of the Standard Model. Lattice QCD calculations of nuclear matrix elements offer guidance for low energy nuclear reactions in astrophysics, dark matter direct detection experiments, and experimental searches for violations of the symmetries of the Standard Model.

Causality and dimensionality in geometric scattering

Silas R. Beane, Roland C. Farrell

Summary: This paper investigates the scattering matrix that describes the low-energy, non-relativistic scattering of spin-1/2 fermions interacting via finite-range potentials. The constraints on scattering trajectories and the effect of spatial dimensionality are explored using a geometric action principle.

UV/IR symmetries of the S-matrix and RG flow

Silas R. Beane, Roland C. Farrell

Summary: The low energy S-matrix, which describes non-relativistic scattering due to finite-range forces, possesses UV/IR symmetries that are hidden in the corresponding effective field theory (EFT) action. This study demonstrates that the S-matrix symmetries manifest as geometric symmetries of the RG flow of coupling constants in both three and two spatial dimensions in the EFT action. An example is provided to illustrate that UV/IR symmetry breaking in the S-matrix imposes strong constraints on the RG flow of the coefficients of the symmetry-breaking operators in the EFT.

Variational study of two-nucleon systems with lattice QCD

Summary: The low-energy spectrum and scattering of two-nucleon systems have been investigated using lattice quantum chromodynamics and a variational approach. Various types of interpolating operators, including dibaryon operators, hexaquark operators, and quasilocal operators, were utilized. By employing sparsening techniques, correlation function matrices were formed from the quark propagators obtained from the operators. Variational methods were applied to constrain the low-energy spectra of two-nucleon systems in a finite volume. The study reveals the dependence of energy spectra on interpolating operators and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of variational methods.

Toward precision Fermi-liquid theory in two dimensions

Silas R. Beane, Gianluca Bertaina, Roland C. Farrell, William R. Marshall

Summary: We study the ultracold and weakly coupled Fermi gas in two spatial dimensions using an effective field theory framework. It is found that the universal corrections to the energy density at two orders of interaction strength do not agree with Monte Carlo simulations in the weak-coupling regime. We obtain universal corrections to three orders of interaction strength, which provide agreement between theory and simulation. We also consider the scale ambiguity associated with the renormalization of singular contact interactions, and calculate nonuniversal contributions to the energy density.

Travis Whyte, Andreas Stathopoulos, Eloy Romero, Kostas Orginos

Summary: The calculation of disconnected diagram contributions in Lattice QCD is computationally expensive. This article presents a sampling and interpolation scheme that can predict the variances associated with Frequency Splitting under displacements of the lattice, and selects shifts that minimize the cost for trace estimation.

Summary: In this study, pion parton distribution functions were extracted through a Monte Carlo global QCD analysis of experimental data and lattice QCD data. The reduced Ioffe time pseudo-distributions significantly decreased the uncertainties on the PDFs, while the current-current correlators were limited by systematic effects associated with the lattice.

Parton physics from a heavy-quark operator product expansion: Lattice QCD calculation of the second moment of the pion distribution amplitude

William Detmold, Anthony Grebe, Issaku Kanamori, C-J David Lin, Santanu Mondal, Robert J. Perry, Yong Zhao

Summary: In this article, the heavy-quark operator product expansion method is numerically implemented for the first time to determine the second Mellin moment of the pion LCDA. The resulting value, obtained at a pion mass of 550 MeV and a factorization scale of 2 GeV in quenched QCD, is 0.210 +/- 0.013(stat) +/- 0.034(sys), which is compatible with previous determinations of this quantity.

Parton physics from a heavy-quark operator product expansion: Formalism and Wilson coefficients

William Detmold, Anthony Grebe, Issaku Kanamori, C-J David Lin, Robert J. Perry, Yong Zhao

Summary: This paper presents theoretical details for calculating PDFs and LCDAs using a heavy-quark operator product expansion method, showing that the operator product expansion can be expressed as the convolution of a perturbative matching kernel and the corresponding light cone distribution. It also provides the one-loop Wilson coefficients for the PDFs and LCDAs, with the coefficients for the LCDAs being new.

Low-energy scattering and effective interactions of two baryons at mπ ∼ 450 MeV from lattice quantum chromodynamics

Summary: In this study, interactions between two octet baryons at low energies were investigated using LQCD with larger-than-physical quark masses. The results showed that most systems were bound at this pion mass, except for the repulsive interactions in the spin-triplet Sigma N and Xi Xi channels. Extrapolation of binding energies to the physical point was performed, and constraints on low-energy coefficients in pionless EFT relevant for two-baryon interactions were determined.
