Kaon flavour physics has played in the 1960s and 1970s a very important role in the construction of the Standard Model (SM) and in the 1980s and 1990s in SM tests with the help of CP violation in $K_L\to\pi\pi$ decays represented by…
We use the linear sigma model with two flavors of quarks to study the phase diagram at finite temperature and baryon chemical potential as a function of the vacuum pion mass. Our calculations include thermal fluctuations of both the bosonic…
A recent renormalization group analysis of the effective light-cone Hamiltonian yields 5 flavor masses and 2 mass shifts as free parameters. These are determined in the present note and used to calculate the masses of all 30 physical mesons…

This writeup is an introduction to some of the experimental issues involved in performing electroweak and B physics measurements at the Fermilab Tevatron. In the electroweak sector, we discuss W and Z boson cross section measurements as…
Isospin-breaking corrections pose a significant challenge to lattice simulations, both because of the splitting between the up and down quark masses and, in particular, the need to include QED effects. The RC* collaboration has developed…
