Using the infinite-volume photon propagator, we developed a method which allows us to calculate electromagnetic corrections to stable hadron masses with only exponentially suppressed finite-volume effects. The key idea is that the infinite volume hadronic current-current correlation function with large time separation between the two currents can be reconstructed by its value at modest time separation, which can be evaluated in finite volume with only exponentially suppressed errors. This approach can be extended to other possible applications such as QED corrections to (semi-)leptonic decays and some rare decays.

    hep-lat 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0

    Lattice QCD calculation of branching ratios and form factors for π and K → ℓνℓγ decays at physical pion mass with IVR method, showing agreement with PIBETA for π→eνeγ and tensions with some kaon data.

  4. Isospin breaking corrections to a lattice QCD calculation of $\varepsilon'$

    hep-lat 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    The paper proposes capturing all ΔI=1/2-enhanced isospin-breaking effects on ε' via QCD+QED lattice simulations limited to photons with energies 0.5-2.0 GeV, with a ChPT estimate placing the low-energy contribution at ~0.5%.
