QWERTY - Quark-level Weak-interaction Effects Revealed Through Hyperons
This project will support the development of a research programme to be submitted as an ERC application, aimed at extending lattice QCD towards these frontiers through targeted exploratory studies. In particular, it will investigate isospin-breaking effects in baryon observables by computing electromagnetic and strong isospin-breaking contributions to baryon mass splittings and by exploring corrections to the ratio of semileptonic decay rates of positively and negatively charged Sigma hyperons into a neutral Lambda hyperon. These studies will provide essential methodological validation and quantitative evidence for the feasibility of high-precision calculations of weak baryon processes.
