Progress toward the chiral regime in lattice QCD calculations of the neutron electric polarizability

Abstract

The static electric polarizability of the neutron is evaluated using domain-wall valence quarks on a MILC asqtad sea quark ensemble corresponding to a pion mass of mpi = 357 MeV. Both connected as well as disconnected contributions are included. The result is quantitatively compatible with the expectation from chiral effective theory.
