We present a determination of the strange quark mass using lattice QCD. Particular focus is put on the definition and renormalization of the mass. The latter is done non-perturbatively, using a recursive finite-size scaling technique. The…

We extend HPQCD's earlier $n_f=4$ lattice-QCD analysis of the ratio of $\overline{\mathrm{MSB}}$ masses of the $b$ and $c$ quark to include results from finer lattices (down to 0.03fm) and a new calculation of QED contributions to the mass…
QCD sum rules involving mixed inverse moment integration kernels are used in order to determine the running charm-quark mass in the $\bar{MS}$ scheme. Both the high and the low energy expansion of the vector current correlator are involved…

The experimental uncertainty on the branching fraction $\b(\Lambda_c \to p K^- \pi^+) = (5.0 \pm 1.3)%$ has not decreased since 1998, despite a much larger data sample. Uncertainty in this quantity dominates that in many other quantities,…
The most recent lattice results on the QCD phase diagram in the presence of a strong magnetic field strongly disagree with results from previous lattice simulations and several model calculations. The most remarkable difference is the…
