Isospin symmetry breaking effects in the pion and nucleon masses

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2010-01-21 v1

Abstract

We investigate the electromagnetic mass splittings in the pseudoscalar meson and nucleon systems by combining 2+1 flavor domain wall fermion gauge configurations, generated by the RBC and UKQCD collaborations, and quenched, non-compact, lattice QED configurations. We analyze finite volume effects by using 163×3216^3\times 32 and 243×6424^3\times 64 lattices.
