Chiral Perturbation Theory and Finite Size Effects on the Nucleon Mass in unquenched QCD
arXiv:hep-lat/0309133 · doi:10.1016/S0920-5632(03)02521-0
Abstract
We calculate finite size effects on nucleon masses in chiral perturbation theory. We confront the theoretical predictions with N_f=2 lattice results and discuss chiral extrapolation formulae.
