Description

Recent progress in lattice QCD calculations of hadron structure will be reviewed, with an emphasis on nucleon structure. A wide range of nucleon observables are being studied in modern lattice calculations. The axial charge and electromagnetic form factors are well known from experiment, and serve as benchmarks for lattice calculations. Sigma terms and tensor and scalar charges are relevant for interpreting results of searches for dark matter and physics beyond the Standard Model. Other observables give insight into the quark and gluon substructure of the nucleon. Challenges in controlling systematic uncertainties will be discussed.
