Theory Colloquia
Lattice QCD: from Promise to Precision

→
Europe/Zurich
4/3-006 - TH Conference Room (CERN)
Description
Within the Standard Model of particle physics, quantum chromodynamics (QCD, the theory of the strong force) is unique in several ways. It is a beautiful quantum field theory, consistent at all energies, all temperatures, and all densities. It is rich in emergent phenomena, which is a more challenging kind of beauty when quantitative understanding is needed. By now, however, several “incalculable” QCD properties have been calculated with sub-percent precision, thanks to numerical lattice gauge theory. In this colloquium, I trace this subject’s journey from a promising technique to a precise and predictive tool, relied on to interpret experiments in particle physics, nuclear physics, and even astrophysics.
