      Alexandrou, Constantia; Constantinou, Martha; Dinter, S.; Drach, V.; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Jansen, K.; Koutsou, Giannis; Vaquero, A. (2015)
      Abstract: We perform a lattice computation of the flavour octet contribution to the average quark momentum in the nucleon, (Formula presented.). In particular, we fully take the disconnected contributions into account in ...

      Nucleon form factors and moments of generalized parton distributions using Nf=2+1+1 twisted mass fermions 

      Alexandrou, Constantia; Constantinou, Martha; Dinter, S.; Drach, V.; Jansen, K.; Kallidonis, Christos; Koutsou, Giannis (2013)
      We present results on the axial and the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon, as well as on the first moments of the nucleon generalized parton distributions using maximally twisted mass fermions. We analyze two N ...

      Precision study of excited state effects in nucleon matrix elements 

      Dinter, S.; Alexandrou, Constantia; Constantinou, Martha G.; Drach, V.; Jansen, K.; Renner, D. B. (2011)
      We present a dedicated analysis of the influence of excited states on the calculation of nucleon matrix elements. This calculation is performed at a fixed value of the lattice spacing, volume and pion mass that are typical ...

      A stochastic method for computing hadronic matrix elements 

      Alexandrou, Constantia; Constantinou, Martha; Dinter, S.; Drach, V.; Jansen, K.; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Renner, D. B. (2014)
      We present a stochastic method for the calculation of baryon three-point functions that is more versatile than the typically used sequential method. We analyze the scaling of the error of the stochastically evaluated ...

      Strangeness of the nucleon from lattice QCD 

      Alexandrou, Constantia; Constantinou, Martha; Dinter, S.; Drach, V.; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Jansen, K.; Koutsou, Giannis; Vaquero, A. (2015)
      We present a nonperturbative calculation of the strangeness of the nucleon yN within the framework of lattice QCD. This observable is known to be an important cornerstone to interpret results from direct dark matter detection ...
