Dataset for "Understanding the structure of nucleon excitations from their wavefunctions"

Relativistic wavefunctions of nucleon excitations are scrutinised to understand their node structure and the underlying role of local interpolating fields in generating the nucleon spectrum. In addressing quark model perspectives, approximately 4000 propagators are employed on the heaviest PACS-CS ensemble at $m_\pi \simeq$702 MeV. We examine the ground and four lowest-lying excited states at zero momentum for both positive- and negative-parity spectra, where the proton's d-quark wavefunction is calculated about the two u quarks at the origin. This is achieved using two local interpolating fields that each carry the quantum numbers of the nucleon but with differing spin-flavour structures, one of which vanishes in the nonrelativistic limit. We find that two distinct types of wavefunction nodes are manifest: "superposition nodes" formed through a linear combination of interpolating fields, and novel "built-in nodes" that are fundamentally built in to the s-wave Dirac components of an individual interpolating field. These are investigated qualitatively through visualisations in the form of both volume and surface renderings, and quantitatively by the calculation of radial wavefunctions. Combined, these findings build a comprehensive picture of the single-particle nucleon spectrum and how its properties derive from fundamental lattice operators.
