Isospin-breaking corrections pose a significant challenge to lattice simulations, both because of the splitting between the up and down quark masses and, in particular, the need to include QED effects. The RC* collaboration has developed the openQxD code, based on openQCD, which enables fully dynamical QCD+QED simulations through the implementation of C-periodic boundary conditions. We use this code to measure baryon masses, with a special focus on the {\Omega^-} baryon mass, whose precise determination is especially important since it has been used to set the scale of lattice simulations. Due to the use of C-periodic boundary conditions, the two-point function of the {\Omega^-} baryon gets additional partially connected contributions, which vanish in the infinite-volume limit and which we are computing for the first time. We will present preliminary results for baryon masses obtained on QCD ensembles with C-periodic boundary conditions, at an unphysical pion mass of approximately 400 MeV.

  1. Normalizing flows for all-orders QED corrections in lattice field theory

    hep-lat 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Normalizing flows enable all-order QED corrections in lattice scalar QED in 2-4 dimensions with reduced variance and transferability from small to large lattices.

  2. Comparing RM123 and non-perturbative QCD+QED approaches to the HVP with C-periodic boundary conditions

    hep-lat 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Full dynamical QCD+QED simulations yield smaller uncertainties than the RM123 method for the intermediate-window HVP contribution at fixed lattice spacing, volume, and statistics.
