Finite Size Effects in Nucleon Masses in Dynamical QCD

Abstract

For lattice calculations with light dynamical quarks, finite size effects have become an important aspect. We study finite size effects in nucleon masses on N_f=2 dynamical lattices of 1-2 fm. Predictions for the finite size effects are obtained in one-loop chiral perturbation theory.
