Insights into the nucleon from lattice QCD
Sara Collins (Universität Regensburg)


Many current or planned experiments involve nucleons in some way, either in the beam or within the nuclei of the targets. In order to extract information on the underlying interactions occurring between quarks and other fundamental (possibly new) particles, one needs to know the distribution of the quarks within the nucleon. Lattice QCD simulations can provide information on how the quarks and gluons account for the properties of the nucleon such as its momentum, spin and mass. I will present recent results along these lines from simulations which aim for all the main systematics to be controlled.
