  Inclusion of QED in lattice QCD calculations can lead to power-law volume
artifacts as a consequence of the long-range nature of the interaction. Such
artifacts must be removed by extrapolation in order to attain reliable infinite
volume estimates of observables and quantities derived from them. As an
alternative to this methodology, we consider the use of a photon mass term as
an infrared regulator for QCD+QED, and explore the viability of its use in
determining hadron mass shifts and splittings.
