Isospin-breaking Effects in Octet and Decuplet Baryon Masses

Understand

We present work designed to compute baryon masses on $N_f = 2 + 1$ CLS ensembles including isospin-breaking effects due to non-degenerate light quark masses and electromagnetic interactions.

• These effects are determined at leading order via a perturbative expansion around the iso-symmetric theory.
• We furthermore apply a group-theoretical operator construction for the various interpolators describing the different members of the baryon octet and decuplet based on a classification by spin, parity, and flavor content.
