Abstract:
Computation of magnetic properties of the neutron using lattice QCD in uniform magnetic fields is subject to various systematic effects. I will give an overview of a quantitative attempt to understand these systematics focusing on non-perturbative magnetic field strengths in both infinite and finite volume. While there is rich physics at finite volume (gauge holonomies and the Aharonov-Bohm effect), simple results are nonetheless obtained.
