Description

We present a strategy to calculate the leading order electromagnetic corrections to meson masses and the hadronic vacuum polarization. These corrections are computed directly through a QED perturbative expansion of the QCD+QED correlation functions. We will show some first results obtained using $N_f=2+1$ Domain Wall fermions. This calculation will be directly compared to the stochastic approach presented by James Harrison.
