Abstract
Understanding a hadron’s electric and magnetic polarizabilities allows one to access internal structural information. Traditionally, the external field two-point function method has been used to calculate polarizabilities. However, recent work has demonstrated the effectiveness of using four-point functions for computing polarizabilities of charged and neutral hadrons. Our previous study on the electric polarizability of the charged pion used a quenched Wilson action on a lattice with pion mass from 1100 MeV to 370 MeV. In this work, we employ a number of improvements, including a dynamical action (nHYP), smaller pion masses (220 MeV and 315 MeV), and a variable lattice size in order to extrapolate to infinite volume. Preliminary results are presented.
