Isospin-breaking and all-to-all propagators on the lattice
Isospin-breaking and all-to-all propagators on the lattice
The precision calculation of hadronic observables allows for a detailed understanding of the physical world and analysis of the Standard Model. Many of the observables calculated using lattice QCD have reached a precision where percent level isospinbreaking corrections (the splitting of the up and down quark mass and QED effects) have become significant. In order to improve the precision of numerical predictions using lattice QCD, we need to calculate isospin-breaking effects to correct existing results. In this thesis we present the calculation of the isospin-breaking correction to a number of quantities, including leptonic decay rates in order to improve the precision of CKM matrix elements. We employ a novel method to calculate correlators using all-to-all propagators to form meson fields. These meson fields allow us to form many correlators with precision through the reuse of data.

Abstract
The precision calculation of hadronic observables allows for a detailed understanding of the physical world and analysis of the Standard Model. Many of the observables calculated using lattice QCD have reached a precision where percent level isospinbreaking corrections (the splitting of the up and down quark mass and QED effects) have become significant. In order to improve the precision of numerical predictions using lattice QCD, we need to calculate isospin-breaking effects to correct existing results. In this thesis we present the calculation of the isospin-breaking correction to a number of quantities, including leptonic decay rates in order to improve the precision of CKM matrix elements. We employ a novel method to calculate correlators using all-to-all propagators to form meson fields. These meson fields allow us to form many correlators with precision through the reuse of data.
