Abstract:The paper presents an extension and a refinement of our previous work on the extraction of the doubly virtual forward Compton scattering amplitude on the lattice by using the background field technique [1]. The zero frequency limit for the periodic background field is discussed, in which the well-known result is reproduced.Further, an upper limit for the magnitude of the external field is established for which the perturbative treatment is still possible. Finally, the framework is set for the evaluation of the… Show more
“…In the present paper we shall concentrate on an alternative proposal which is based on the use of the background field technique (or, the Feynman-Hellmann method) for measuring the forward doubly virtual Compton scattering amplitude off nucleons, see Refs. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. This amplitude is directly related to the moments of the structure functions.…”
We calculate the spin-averaged amplitude for doubly virtual forward Compton scattering off nucleons in the framework of manifestly Lorentz-invariant baryon chiral perturbation theory at complete one-loop order O(p 4 ). The calculations are carried out both in the infinite and in a finite volume. The obtained results allow for a detailed estimation the finite-volume corrections to the amplitude which can be extracted on the lattice using the background field technique.

“…The proposal was inspired by an earlier study of the parity-even structure functions [249]. Some other applications of the FHT on lattice include the calculation of hadronic charges and form factors [212,250], Compton scattering amplitude [251,252] and hadron resonances [253].…”
Section: Future Prospects With Lattice Qcdmentioning
We review some recent progress in the theory of electroweak radiative corrections in semileptonic decay processes. The resurrection of the so-called Sirlin’s representation based on current algebra relations permits a clear separation between the perturbatively-calculable and incalculable pieces in the O(GFα) radiative corrections. The latter are expressed as compact hadronic matrix elements that allow systematic non-perturbative analysis such as dispersion relation and lattice QCD. This brings substantial improvements to the precision of the electroweak radiative corrections in semileptonic decays of pion, kaon, free neutron and JP=0+ nuclei that are important theory inputs in precision tests of the Standard Model. Unresolved issues and future prospects are discussed.

We review some recent progress in the theory of electroweak radiative corrections in semileptonic decay processes. The resurrection of the so-called Sirlin's representation based on current algebra relations permits a clear separation between the perturbatively-calculable and incalculable pieces in the O(G F α) radiative corrections. The latter are expressed as compact hadronic matrix elements that allow systematic non-perturbative analysis such as dispersion relation and lattice QCD. This brings substantial improvements to the precision of the electroweak radiative corrections in semileptonic decays of pion, kaon, free neutron and J P = 0 + nuclei that are important theory inputs in precision tests of the Standard Model.
