Electromagnetic form factors of the Ω- in lattice QCD

We present results on the omega baryon (Ω-) electromagnetic form factors using Nf=2+1 domain-wall fermion configurations for three pion masses in the range of about 350 to 300 MeV. We compare results obtained using domain-wall fermions with those of a mixed-action (hybrid) approach, which combines d...

Description
Summary:We present results on the omega baryon (Ω-) electromagnetic form factors using Nf=2+1 domain-wall fermion configurations for three pion masses in the range of about 350 to 300 MeV. We compare results obtained using domain-wall fermions with those of a mixed-action (hybrid) approach, which combines domain-wall valence quarks on staggered sea quarks, for a pion mass of about 350 MeV. We pay particular attention in the evaluation of the subdominant electric quadrupole form factor to sufficient accuracy to exclude a zero value, by constructing a sequential source that isolates it from the dominant form factors. The Ω-[omega baryon] magnetic moment, μΩ- [mu omega baryon], and the electric charge and magnetic radius,(r[superscript 2 subscript E0/M1),are extracted for these pion masses. The electric quadrupole moment is determined for the first time using dynamical quarks.
