path integral - Topological susceptibility of electroweak theta-term


Suppose EW theory generating functional: $$ Z[\text{sources}] = \int D(A,\psi,\bar{\psi}, H,H^{\dagger})\text{exp}\bigg[i\int d^{4}x\bigg(-\frac{1}{4g_{EW}^2}F_{EW}^2 + \bar{\psi}(D - m)\psi + DH^{\dagger}DH + $$ $$ \tag 1 +\theta F_{EW}\tilde{F}_{EW} + \text{gauge fix} +\text{ghost} +\text{sources}\bigg)\bigg] $$ I need to calculate topological susceptibility $$ \tag 2 \kappa (0) \equiv \int d^4 x\langle 0|T\left( F_{EW}\tilde{F}_{EW}(x)F_{EW}\tilde{F}_{EW}(0)\right) |0\rangle_{\theta=\text{sources}= 0} \equiv \int d^4 x \frac{\delta^2 Z}{\delta \theta^2}_{\theta=\text{sources}= 0} $$ I know that for $SU_{L}(2)$ theory I can perform chiral rotations of $\psi$ fields (electron, neutrino etc.) so that $\theta$ term wil disappear from generating functional in the limit of zero sources. Does this mean that $(2)$ is equal to zero?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
