We simulate lattice QCD with dynamical $u$ and $d$ quarks at finite chemical potential, $\mu_I$, for the third component of isospin ($I_3$), at both zero and at finite temperature. At zero temperature there is some $\mu_I$, $\mu_c$ say,…
We give a short description of the present situation of lattice QCD simulations. We then focus on the computation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon using lattice techniques. We demonstrate that by employing improved observables…
Isospin symmetry is explicitly broken in the Standard Model by the mass and electric charge of the up and down quarks. These effects represent a perturbation of hadronic amplitudes at the percent level. Although these contributions are…
Three-body states are critical to the dynamics of many hadronic resonances. We show that lattice QCD calculations have reached a stage where these states can be accurately resolved. We perform a calculation over a wide range of parameters…
Computing the atomic geometry of lattice defects--point defects, dislocations, crack tips, surfaces, or boundaries--requires an accurate coupling of the local strain field to the long-range elastic field. Periodic boundary conditions used…
The exponentially decreasing signal to noise ratio in multibaryon correlators is the main obstacle to a first principles, QCD-based calculation of the nuclear force. Recently, we have proposed an orbifold boundary condition ("restless…
Precision experimental tests of the Standard Model of particle physics (SM) are one of our best hopes for discovering what new physics lies beyond the SM (BSM). Key in the search for new physics is the connection between theory and…

In lattice QCD it is possible, in principle, to determine the parameters in the effective chiral lagrangian (including weak interaction couplings) by performing numerical simulations in the $\epsilon$--regime, i.e. at quark masses where the…
We report the results of a lattice quantum chromodynamics calculation of $F_K/F_\pi$ using M\"{o}bius domain-wall fermions computed on gradient-flowed $N_f=2+1+1$ highly-improved staggered quark (HISQ) ensembles. The calculation is…
Fluctuations of conserved charges allow to study the chemical composition of hadronic matter. A comparison between lattice simulations and the Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model suggested the existence of missing strange resonances. To…
We present a lattice QCD spectroscopy study in the isospin singlet, strangeness $-2$ sectors relevant for the conjectured $H$ dibaryon. We employ both local and bilocal interpolating operators to isolate the ground state in the rest frame…
We report a first principle lattice calculation of the pion electric polarizability $\alpha_\pi$ at the physical pion mass. First, we derive the master formula, which relates the pion polarizabilities with the position space hadronic…
A number of old and new methods for computing $K\to\pi\pi$ amplitudes on the lattice are reevaluated. They all involve a non-perturbative determination of matching coefficients. I will show how problems related to operator mixing can be…
We study the finite-volume correction on the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon g-2 ($a_\mu^{\rm hvp}$) in lattice QCD at (near) physical pion mass using two different volumes: $(5.4~{\rm fm})^4$ and $(8.1~{\rm fm})^4$.…
We present and test a new method to compute the hadronic vacuum polarization function in lattice simulations. This can then be used, e.g., to determine the leading hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The…
We construct a physically motivated model for the isospin-one non-strange vacuum polarization function Pi(Q^2) based on a spectral function given by vector-channel OPAL data from hadronic tau decays for energies below the tau mass and a…
