A standing mystery in the Standard Model is the unnatural smallness of the strong CP violating phase. A massless up quark has long been proposed as one potential solution. A lattice calculation of the constants of the chiral Lagrangian essential for the determination of the up quark mass, 2α8 −α5, is presented. We find 2α8 − α5 = 0.29 ± 0.18, which corresponds to mu/m d = 0.410 ± 0.036. This is the first such calculation using a physical number of dynamical light quarks, N f = 3.
