Description

The introduction of parallel electric and magnetic fields in the QCD vacuum enhances the weight of topological sectors with a non-zero topological charge. For weak fields, there is a linear response for the topological charge. We study this linear response which can be interpreted as the axion-photon coupling. In this work we use lattice simulations with improved staggered quarks including background electric and magnetic fields.
