      Computation of disconnected contributions to nucleon observables 

      Alexandrou, Constantia; Drach, V.; Jansen, K.; Koutsou, Giannis; Avilés-Casco, A. V. (Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2013)
      We compare several methods for computing disconnected fermion loops contributing to nucleon three-point functions. The comparison is carried out using one ensemble of Nf =2+1+1 twisted mass fermions with pion mass of 373 ...

      Direct Evaluation of the Quark Content of Nucleons from Lattice QCD at the Physical Point 

      Abdel-Rehim, A.; Alexandrou, Constantia; Constantinou, Martha; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Jansen, K.; Kallidonis, Christos; Koutsou, Giannis; Avilés-Casco, A. V. (2016)
      We evaluate the light, strange, and charm scalar content of the nucleon using one lattice QCD ensemble generated with two degenerate light quarks with mass fixed to their physical value. We use improved techniques to ...

      Disconnected diagrams with twisted-mass fermions 

      Abdel-Rehim, A.; Alexandrou, Constantia; Constantinou, Martha; Finkenrath, J.; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Jansen, K.; Kallidonis, Christos; Koutsou, Giannis; Avilés-Casco, A. V.; Volmer, J. (Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2016)
      The latest results from the Twisted-Mass collaboration on disconnected diagrams at the physical value of the pion mass are presented. In particular, we focus on the sigma terms, the axial charges and the momentum fraction, ...

      Disconnected quark loop contributions to nucleon observables using Nf = 2 twisted clover fermions at the physical value of the light quark mass 

      Abdel-Rehim, A.; Alexandrou, Constantia; Constantinou, Martha; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Jansen, K.; Kallidonis, Christos; Koutsou, Giannis; Avilés-Casco, A. V. (Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2015)
      We compute the disconnected quark loops contributions entering the determination of nucleon observables, by using a Nf = 2 ensemble of twisted mass fermions with a clover term at a pION mass mπ = 133 MeV. We employ exact ...

      Implementation of the twisted mass fermion operator in the QUDA library 

      Strelchenko, A.; Alexandrou, Constantia; Koutsou, Giannis; Avilés-Casco, A. V. (Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2013)
      We discuss an extension of the QUDA library for the Wilson twisted mass operator. A performance analysis is presented for both degenerate and non-degenerate flavor doublets. The degenerate twisted mass fermion operator ...

      Nucleon spin and quark content at the physical point 

      Alexandrou, Constantia; Constantinou, Martha; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Kallidonis, Christos; Koutsou, Giannis; Jansen, K.; Wiese, C.; Avilés-Casco, A. V. (Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2016)
      We present results on the spin and quark content of the nucleon using Nf =2 twisted mass cloverimproved fermion simulations with a pion mass close to its physical value. We use recently developed methods to obtain accurate ...

      A QUDA-branch to compute disconnected diagrams in GPUs 

      Alexandrou, Constantia; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Koutsou, Giannis; Strelchenko, A.; Avilés-Casco, A. V. (Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2013)
      Although QUDA allows for an efficient computation of many QCD quantities, it is surprinsingly lacking tools to evaluate disconnected diagrams, for which GPUS are specially well suited. We aim to fill this gap by creating ...
