There has been much speculation as to the origin of ΔI=1/2 rule (ReA0/ReA2≃22.5). We find that two dominant contributions ΔI=3/2, K→ππ correlation functions have opposite signs, leading a significant cancelation. This partial cancelation occurs in our computation ReA2 with physical quark masses and kinematics (where we reproduce experimental value A2) also for heavier pions at threshold. For ReA0, although do not results kinematics, zero momentum mπ≃420 MeV [ReA0/ReA2=9.1(2.1)] mπ≃330...

Lattice QCD is notorious for its computational expense. Modern lattice simulations require large-scale resources to handle the high number of Dirac operator inversions used construct correlation functions. Machine learning (ML) techniques that can increase, at analysis level, information inferred from functions would therefore be beneficial. We apply supervised infer two-point different target masses. Our work proposes a new method separating data into training and bias correction subsets...

Simulations are performed across several lattice spacings, ranging approximately from $\sim 0.15$ fm to 0.06$ fm, various masses. will overview show some preliminary results form factors.
