Given the increasing availability of lattice data for (unquenched) QCD with $N_f=2$, it is worth while to check whether the generated vacuum significantly deviates from the quenched one. I discuss a specific attempt to do this on the basis…
We discuss the calculation of the leading hadronic vacuum polarization in lattice QCD. Exploiting the excellent quality of the compiled experimental data for the e^+e^- --> hadrons cross-section, we predict the outcome of large-volume…

Lattice QCD calculations of hadron structure are a valuable complement to many experimental programs as well as an indispensable tool to understand the dynamics of QCD. I present a focused review of a few representative topics chosen to…
We report on the first master-field simulations of QCD with 2+1 dynamical quark flavours using non-perturbatively improved stabilised Wilson fermions. Our simulations are performed at a lattice spacing of 0.094 fm with 96 and 192 points in…
We use lattice QCD to fully determine the CKM matrix. |V_{cd}|, |V_{cs}|, |V_{ub}|, |V_{cb}| and |V_{us}| are, respectively, directly determined with recent lattice results for form factors of semileptonic D->pi l nu, D->K l nu, B->pi l nu,…

We investigate the behaviour of the pion decay constant and the pion mass in two-flavour lattice QCD, with the physical and chiral points as ultimate goal. Measurements come from the ensembles generated by the CLS initiative using the…
Recent experimental measurements and lattice QCD calculations are now reaching the precision (and accuracy) needed to over-constrain the CKM parameters $\bar\rho$ and $\bar\eta$. In this brief review, I discuss the current status of lattice…
The proton mass calculation is still a tough challenge for lattice QCD. We discuss the current status and difficulties based on the recent PACS-CS results for the hadron spectrum in 2+1 flavor QCD.
Till the middle of 2004 it appeared that the unitarity relation Vud^2+Vus^2+Vub^2=1 might not hold at the 2.3sigma level. At that time, however, Vus was inferred from old experimental data. Since then, a large experimental and theoretical…
We present an update of HPQCD's lattice QCD determination of the $B_c\to J/\psi$ vector and axial-vector form factors, and provide new results for the tensor form factors. We use the Highly Improved Staggered Quark action for all valence…
We update our previous determination of both the decay constant and the mass of the $D_s$ meson using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark formalism. We include additional results at two finer values of the lattice spacing along with…
