We present a lattice QCD calculation of the polarizability of the neutron and other neutral hadrons that includes the effects of the background field on the sea quarks. This is done by perturbatively reweighting the charges of the sea quarks to couple them to the background field. The main challenge in such a calculation is stochastic estimation of the weight factors, and we discuss the difficulties in this estimation. Here we use an extremely aggressive dilution scheme to reduce the stochastic noise to a manageable level. The pion mass in our calculation is 300 MeV and the lattice size is 3 fm. For the neutron, we find that alpha(E) = 2.70(55) x 10(-4) fm(3), which is the most precise lattice QCD determination of the polarizability to date that includes sea effects.

Charged pion electric polarizability from four-point functions in lattice QCD

Frank X. Lee, Andrei Alexandru, Chris Culver, Walter Wilcox

Summary: Polarizabilities provide valuable information about the internal structure of hadrons in terms of charge and current distributions. This study explores an alternative method based on four-point functions in lattice QCD to isolate the polarization energy in charged hadrons. The simulation on the electric polarizability of a charged pion shows a cancellation between elastic and inelastic contributions, raising interesting questions for future simulations at smaller pion masses.

Higher order finite volume quantization conditions for two spinless particles

Summary: This article focuses on precise calculations of scattering phase shifts and resonance parameters in the two-body sector of lattice QCD. The study derives higher-order quantization conditions and introduces a method for transparently cross-checking the results, which is essential given the involved derivations of these formulas.

Towards charged hadron polarizabilities from four-point functions in lattice QCD

Walter Wilcox, Frank X. Lee

Summary: This paper demonstrates how to calculate the electromagnetic polarizabilities of charged hadrons using four-point functions in lattice QCD. Formulas for electric and magnetic polarizabilities are derived for charged pions and protons, and the construction and assessment of lattice four-point correlation functions for Monte Carlo simulations are discussed. While connected quark-line diagrams are feasible for small lattice projects, disconnected diagrams require more resources but are achievable for medium to large projects. The potential of four-point functions as a multipurpose tool for hadron structure is also highlighted.
