For a precise determination of the m_u and m_d quark masses, it is useful to combine isospin symmetric results of lattice or sum rules QCD techniques with some isospin breaking study performed in chiral perturbation theory (ChPT). The most…

The recent experimental data on $D^{+}-D^{0}$ and $D^{\ast\, +}-D^{\ast\,0}$ mass differences are used as inputs in the QCD sum rules to obtain new estimates on the mass difference of light quarks and on the difference of their condensates:…

We present a new dispersive analysis of the isospin breaking decay eta --> 3 pi. The resulting representation of the decay amplitude allows us to determine the quark mass double ratio Q and we find as a preliminary result Q = 22.3 +/- 0.4.…

In recent years, the decay eta --> 3 pi has received considerable attention from experimental and theoretical side. It is of particular theoretical interest because it allows for the determination of (m_u - m_d). In addition, for many years…

We present a new method to evaluate with high precision isospin breaking effects due to the small mass difference between the up and down quarks using lattice QCD. Our proposal is applicable in principle to any hadronic observable which can…

We present a method to evaluate on the lattice the leading isospin breaking effects due to both the small mass difference between the up and down quarks and the QED interaction. Our proposal is applicable in principle to any QCD+QED gauge…

Talk given at the Conference on Fundamental Interactions of Elementary Particles, ITEP, Moscow, Oct. 1995. The paper reviews the current status of knowledge concerning m_u, m_d and m_s. Qualitative aspects of the resulting picture for the…

The procedure to calculate masses and matrix-elements in the presence of mixing of the basis states is explained in detail. We then apply this procedure to the two-loop calculation in Chiral Perturbation Theory of pseudoscalar masses and…

The paper collects the various pieces of information concerning the relative size of m_u, m_d and m_s. A coherent picture results, which constrains the mass ratios to a rather narrow range: m_u/m_d = 0.553 \pm 0.043, m_s/m_d = 18.9 \pm 0.8.

We present a new method to evaluate with high precision the isospin breaking effects due to the mass difference between the up and down quarks using lattice QCD. Our proposal is applicable in principle to any hadronic observable which can…

SU2 isospin breaking effects in baryon octet (and decuplet) masses are due to a combination of up and down quark mass differences and electromagnetic effects. These mass differences are small. Between the Sigma and Lambda the mass splitting…

Meson spin splittings are examined within an effective Coulomb gauge QCD Hamiltonian incorporating chiral symmetry and a transverse hyperfine interaction necessary for heavy quarks. For light and heavy quarkonium systems the…

Because of their small electromagnetic corrections, the isospin-breaking decays $\eta\to3\pi$ seem to be good candidates for extracting isospin-breaking parameters $ (m_d-m_u)$. This task is unfortunately complicated by large chiral…

QCD sum rules using polynomial kernels are used to evaluate the strong part of the proton-neutron mass difference DeltaM_np in a model independent fashion. The result for the mass difference turns out to depend sensitively on the value of…

Isospin breaking effects in baryon octet (and decuplet) masses are due to a combination of up and down quark mass differences and electromagnetic effects and lead to small mass splittings. Between the Sigma and Lambda this mass splitting is…

Isospin symmetry breaking in the quark condensates, $< \bar dd> \not= < \bar uu>$, is a fundamental parameter in both the QCD sum rule studies and the chiral perturbation theory. In this article, we apply the QCD sum rule method to treat…

Charge symmetry breaking in the strong interaction occurs because of the difference between the masses of the up and down quarks. At present the Standard Model can't explain the observed mass pattern (M(n), M(p), m(u), m(d) etc.) and their…

The decay $\eta \to 3 \pi$ proceeds exclusively through isospin violating operators and is therefore an excellent probe to examine the strength of isospin breaking in the strong interaction. The latter can be expressed through the quark…

We present a lattice calculation of the leading corrections to the masses of nucleons and $\Delta$ resonances. These are obtained in QCD+QED at $1$st order in the Isospin Breaking parameters $\alpha_{EM}$, the electromagnetic coupling, and…

We compute the electromagnetic mass difference for the $B$-, $D$- and $K$-mesons using QCD sum rules with double dispersion relations. For the $B$- and $D$-mesons we also compute the linear quark mass correction, whereas for the $K$ the…
