Nucleon form factors and couplings with $N_\mathrm{f} = 2 + 1$ Wilson fermions

Abstract

We present updated results on the nucleon electromagnetic form factors and axial coupling calculated using CLS ensembles with $N_\mathrm{f}=2+1$ dynamical flavours of Wilson fermions. The measurements are performed on large, fine lattices with a pseudoscalar mass reaching down to 200 MeV. The truncated-solver method is employed to reduce the variance of the measurements. Estimation of the matrix elements is challenging due to large contamination from excited states and further investigation is necessary to bring these effects under control.
