We use one-loop chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) to compare lattice results for the K+ to pi+ pi0 decay amplitude with the experimental value. Three systematic effects: quenching, finite-volume effects, and the use of unphysical values of…
We present the scattering lengths for the $\pi K$ processes in the three flavour Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) framework at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). The calculation has been performed analytically but we only include…

We study the properties of pions in twisted mass lattice QCD (with two degenerate flavors) using chiral perturbation theory (ChPT). We work to next-to-leading order (NLO) in a power counting scheme in which m_q ~ a \Lambda_QCD^2, with m_q…
Non-leptonic kaon decays are often described through an effective chiral weak Hamiltonian, whose couplings ("low-energy constants") encode all non-perturbative QCD physics. It has recently been suggested that these low-energy constants…
We study cutoff effects at tree-level of perturbation theory for standard Wilson and Wilson twisted mass fermionic lattice actions with Nf=2 flavour degenerate quarks. The discretization effects are investigated by computing the mass…
We compute the scattering amplitude in Wilson Chiral Perturbation Theory for two flavors. The lattice spacing effects due to the explicit chiral symmetry breaking are kept through O(a^2), and we consider the regime where the quark mass m is…
We compute the low lying eigenvalues of the Hermitian Dirac operator in lattice QCD with $N_{\rm f} = 2+1+1$ twisted mass fermions. We discuss whether these eigenvalues are in the $\epsilon$-regime or the $p$-regime of Wilson chiral…
Lattice QCD simulations tend to get stuck in a single topological sector at fine lattice spacing, or when using chirally symmetric quarks. In such cases computed observables differ from their full QCD counterparts by finite volume…
