Isospin Splittings in the Light-Baryon Octet from Lattice QCD and QED

Abstract: While electromagnetic and up-down quark mass difference effects on octet baryon masses are very small, they have important consequences. The stability of the hydrogen atom against beta decay is a prominent example. Here, we include these effects by adding them to valence quarks in a lattice QCD calculation based on Nf=2+1 simulations with five lattice spacings down to 0.054 fm, lattice sizes up to 6 fm, and average up-down quark masses all the way down to their physical value. This allows us to gain control ov… Show more

“…On the lattice this is done by including the QED action into the functional integral. Due to the involved computational costs this is a very recent endeavour, with results being presented in [284,285]. We will not discuss further the topic here due to constraints of space.…”

“…In some instances, the up-and down-quark masses and quenched Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) have been included in an effort to precisely post-dict the observed isospin splittings in the spectrum of hadrons [4,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. While naively appearing to be a simple extension of pure LQCD calculations, there are subtleties associated with including QED.…”

“…In particular, hadronic spectra and other hadronic observables are now being calculated in the presence of both isospin violation from the light-quark masses and Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. QED plays a critical role in the stability and structure of nuclei, and therefore first principles calculations of nuclear structure require the inclusion of the electromagnetic (EM) interactions among quarks.…”
