Kl3 and pion form factors using partially twisted boundary conditions

Kl3 and pion form factors using partially twisted boundary conditions
Kl3 and pion form factors using partially twisted boundary conditions
We compute the Kℓ3 and pion form factors using partially twisted boundary conditions. The twists are chosen so that the K3 form factors are calculated directly at zero momentum transfer (q2 = 0), removing the need for a q2 interpolation, while the pion form factor is determined at values of q2 close to q2=0. The simulations are performed on an ensemble of the RBC/UKQCD collaboration's gauge configurations with Domain Wall Fermions and the Iwaski gauge action with an inverse lattice spacing of 1.73(3) GeV. Simulating at a single pion mass of 330 MeV, we find the pion charge radius to be ⟨r2330 MeV = 0.354(31) fm2 which, using NLO SU(2) chiral perturbation theory, translates to a value of ⟨rπ2⟩ = 0.418(31) fm2 for a physical pion. For the value of the K3 form factor, fKπ+(q2), determined directly at q2 = 0, we
find a value of fKπ+(0) = 0.9742(41) at this particular quark mass, which agrees well with our earlier result (0.9774(35)) obtained using the standard, indirect method.

Abstract

We compute the Kℓ3 and pion form factors using partially twisted boundary conditions. The twists are chosen so that the K3 form factors are calculated directly at zero momentum transfer (q2 = 0), removing the need for a q2 interpolation, while the pion form factor is determined at values of q2 close to q2=0. The simulations are performed on an ensemble of the RBC/UKQCD collaboration's gauge configurations with Domain Wall Fermions and the Iwaski gauge action with an inverse lattice spacing of 1.73(3) GeV. Simulating at a single pion mass of 330 MeV, we find the pion charge radius to be ⟨r2330 MeV = 0.354(31) fm2 which, using NLO SU(2) chiral perturbation theory, translates to a value of ⟨rπ2⟩ = 0.418(31) fm2 for a physical pion. For the value of the K3 form factor, fKπ+(q2), determined directly at q2 = 0, we
find a value of fKπ+(0) = 0.9742(41) at this particular quark mass, which agrees well with our earlier result (0.9774(35)) obtained using the standard, indirect method.
