Nucleon and $N^{\ast }(1535)$ Distribution Amplitudes

Abstract

The QCDSF collaboration has investigated the distribution amplitudes and wavefunction normalization constants of the nucleon and its parity partner, the $N^{\ast }(1535)$. We report on recent progress in the calculation of these quantities on configurations with two dynamical flavors of $\mathcal{O}(a)$-improved Wilson fermions. New data at pion masses of approximately 270 MeV helps in significantly reducing errors in the extrapolation to the physical point.
