Vector meson form factors on the lattice
Description
We compute form factors of vector mesons in lattice QCD. We use the QCDSF gauge field configurations with two dynamical flavors of non-perturbatively improved Wilson fermions. In contrast to, e.g., the physical rho-meson, the vector mesons are stable on the lattice in the parameter ranges (pion masses and volumes) we consider. Nevertheless, the results are examplary for form factors of spin-1 particles, and can be compared to results for pion and nucleon form factors. We present results for the electromagnetic form factors that allow to derive the charge radius and the g-factor of the rho meson, and also the quadrupole moment, which describes deviations from the spherical shape of the meson. We also present first results for axial vector form factors.
