A quantitative understanding of the low-energy behavior of QCD, like the interactions of quarks inside hadrons, requires nonperturbative methods. Lattice field theory offers a systematic approach to solving QCD nonperturbatively. The space-time continuum is replaced by a discrete lattice. Other projects deal with applications of lattice QCD to phenomenologically interesting processes that yield insight into the standard model of particle physics. GSAC Talks are held every Tuesday and Thursday evening in Loomis 158.
Physics graduate students to a wide variety of research areas and potential advisors.
All first-year graduate sudents are strongly encouraged to attend.
