Scientific paper

Low energy precision experiments provide significant tests of the laws of nature that can reveal physics beyond the Standard Model. A good theoretical understanding of the low energy properties of QCD is required for this purpose. The recent developments at the interface between lattice and effective field theory methods provide an excellent basis for pion physics already now, while the extension required to explore the low energy properties in the strange quark sector yet calls for further work, also in view of a better determination of the light quark masses. At the precision achieved in lattice determination of quark mass ratios, the e.m. self-energies of the mesons play an important role. I point out some unresolved issues occurring in this context and then summarize the present knowledge of the light quark masses.
