We review lattice results related to pion, kaon, $D$-meson, $B$-meson, and nucleon physics with the aim of making them easily accessible nuclear particle communities. More specifically, we report on determination light-quark masses, form factor $f_+(0)$ arising in semileptonic $K \to \pi$ transition at zero momentum transfer, as well decay constant ratio $f_K/f_\pi$ its consequences for CKM matrix elements $V_{us}$ $V_{ud}$.

While electromagnetic and up-down quark mass difference effects on octet baryon masses are very small, they have important consequences. The stability of the hydrogen atom against beta decay is a prominent example. Here we include these by adding them to valence quarks in lattice QCD calculation based $N_f=2+1$ simulations with 5 spacings down 0.054 fm, sizes up 6 fm average all way their physical value. This allows us gain control over systematic errors, except for one associated neglecting...

Using finite size scaling techniques and a renormalization scheme based on the Gradient Flow, we determine non-perturbatively $\beta$-function of $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory for range renormalized couplings $\bar g^2\sim 1-12$. We perform detailed study matching with asymptotic NNLO perturbative behavior at high-energy, our non-perturbative data showing significant deviation from prediction down to $\bar{g}^2\sim1$. conclude that schemes Flow are not competitive match behavior, even when...

<title>Abstract</title> Modern particle physics experiments, e.g. at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) CERN, crucially depend on precise description of scattering processes in terms known fundamental forces. This is limited by our current understanding strong nuclear force, as quantified coupling, $\alpha_s$, between quarks and gluons. Relating $\alpha_s$ to experiments poses a major challenge interactions lead confinement gluons inside hadronic bound states. At high energies, however, become...
