Magnetic properties of the nucleon in a uniform background field

We present results for the magnetic moment and magnetic polarizability of the neutron and the magnetic moment of the proton. These results are calculated using the uniform background field method on 32(3) x 64 dynamical QCD lattices provided by the PACS-CS Collaboration as part of the ILDG. We use a uniform background magnetic field quantized by the periodic spatial volume. We investigate ways to improve the effective energy plots used to calculate magnetic polarizabilities, including the use of correlation matrix techniques with various source smearings.
