Investigation of Hadron Matter using Lattice QCD and Implementation of Lattice QCD Applications on Heterogeneous Multicore Acceleration Processors

Observables relevant for the understanding of the structure of baryons were determined by means of Monte Carlo simulations of lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) using 2+1 dynamical quark flavours. Special emphasis was placed on how these observables change when flavour symmetry is broken in comparison to choosing equal masses for the two light and the strange quark. The first two moments of unpolarised, longitudinally, and transversely polarised parton distribution functions were calculated for the nucleon and hyperons.
