چکیده
We review the current status of lattice QCD studies of the nucleon system. In particular, we focus on the determination of the shape of the nucleon by probing its wave function as well as by evaluating the N to ∆ transition form factors.

The Matter Density Distribution for Mesons and Baryons *
The charge and matter density distributions encode detailed information on hadron structure. In the non-relativistic limit both charge and matter density distributions reduce to the square of the wave function. Therefore differences between them give a measure of relativistic effects. Hadron deformation can be searched via the matter density distribution as well as via the charge density distri...
متن کاملLattice Gauge Theory - Qcd from Quarks to Hadrons
Lattice Gauge Theory enables an ab initio study of the low-energy properties of Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of the strong interaction. I begin these lectures by presenting the lattice formulation of QCD, and then outline the benchmark calculation of lattice QCD, the light-hadron spectrum. I then proceed to explore the predictive power of lattice QCD, in particular as it pertains to hadro...
متن کاملHadron deformation from Lattice QCD
Hadronic matrix elements of twoand threecurrent correlators encode detailed information on hadron structure such as quark spatial distributions, charge radii and quadrupole moments. In the non-relativistic limit they reduce to the square of the wave function and therefore the shape of the hadron can be extracted. The issue of a deformation in the nucleon and ∆ was first examined in the context ...
متن کاملBaryon Electromagnetic Properties in Partially Quenched Heavy Hadron Chiral Perturbation Theory
Abstract The electromagnetic properties of baryons containing a heavy quark are calculated at next-toleading order in partially quenched heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory. Calculations are performed for three light flavors in the isospin limit and additionally for two light non-degenerate flavors. We use partially-quenched charge matrices that are easy to implement on the lattice. The res...
متن کاملNucleon Structure from Lattice QCD
Recent advances in lattice field theory, in computer technology and in chiral perturbation theory have enabled lattice QCD to emerge as a powerful quantitative tool in understanding hadron structure. I describe recent progress in the computation of the nucleon form factors and moments of parton distribution functions, before proceeding to describe lattice studies of the Generalized Parton Distr...
