Description

I report on an on-going project based on simulations with Nf=2 flavours of O(a) improved Wilson fermions. The main focus is on precision determinations of the pion form factor using twisted boundary conditions. I also describe our efforts to control a variety of systematic uncertainty in calculations of nucleon form factors. Finally, I present some lattice results for the hadronic vacuum polarisation contribution to the muon's anomalous magnetic moment.
