Flavor Diagonal Nucleon Charges
Abstract
This talk provides an update on the calculation of matrix elements of flavor diagonal axial, scalar and tensor quark bilinear operators between the nucleon ground state. The simulations are done using Wilson-clover fermions on a sea of eight 2+1+1-flavor HISQ ensembles generated by the MILC collaboration. We discuss the signal in the connected and disconnected contributions, calculation of the renormalization constants and mixing in the RI-sMOM scheme, and control over the simultaneous chiral-continuum-finite-volume fit used to extract the final charges.
