摘要:We present preliminary results from an investigation into the magnetic properties of the nucleon using the background field method of lattice QCD. The method involves introducing a uniform magnetic field across the lattice and measuring the resulting energy shift. The investigation is performed on a quenched 32340 lattice with periodic boundary conditions in the spatial dimensions and a uniform quantised field in the xy plane. We discuss the Landau levels of a charged particle in a magnetic field and the difficulty this contribution causes when attempting to perform background field calculations with the proton.
