1205.1608 (N. L. Hall et al.)

Volume Dependence of the Axial Charge of the Nucleon    [PDF]

N. L. Hall, A. W. Thomas, R. D. Young, J. M. Zanotti
It is shown that the strong volume-dependence of the axial charge of the nucleon seen in lattice QCD calculations can be understood quantitatively in terms of the pion-induced interactions between neighbouring nucleons. The associated wave function renormalization leads to an increased suppression of the axial charge as the strength of the interaction increases, either because of a decrease in lattice size or in pion mass.
