Abstract: (EDP Sciences)
We report on an analysis of the average quark momentum fraction ofthe nucleon and related quantities usingNf = 2 + 1 Wilson fermions. Computationsare performed on four CLS ensembles covering three values of thelattice spacing at pion masses down to Mπ ≈ 200 MeV. Several source-sink separations (~ 1:0 fm to ~ 1:4 fm) are used to assess the excited-state contamination. To gain further insight, the generalized pencil-of-functions approach has been implemented to reduce the excited-state contamination in the relevant two-and three-point functions. Preliminary results are shown for the isovector nucleon charges from vector, axial vector and tensor derivative (twist-2) operators.
