A set of four Finite Energy QCD sum rules are used to determine the magnetic field dependence of the sum of the up- and down-quark masses of QCD, $(m_u + m_d)$, the pion decay constant $f_\pi$, the pion mass $m_\pi$, the gluon condensate,…
Isospin symmetry, as the most precise flavor symmetry, can be used to extract information about hadronic dynamics. The effective Hamiltonian for bottom quark weak decay is zero under the isospin lowering operators $I_-^n$, which allows us…

As increased statistics and new ensembles with light pions have become available within the CLS effort, we complete previous work by inspecting the chiral behaviour of the pion decay constant. We discuss the validity of Chiral Perturbation…
