Kaon and light quark physics (A13)

• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields
• Term: from 2008 to 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 35592816

Expanding on previous results concerning hadron masses and isospin splittings, quark masses and weak matrix elements, we propose to compute, from first principles, the individual masses of the up- and the down- quark, the decay constants of light pseudoscalar mesons and generic matrix elements describing CP violation in standard model extensions. Electromagnetic effects for these observables will be studied and included whenever possible and the application of the corresponding techniques to other computations will be investigated.
