Non-perturbative Methods And Lattice Qcd, Procs Of The Intl Workshop


Book Description

Lattice field theory is the most reliable tool for investigating non-perturbative phenomena in particle physics. It has also become a cross-discipline, overlapping with other physical sciences and computer science. This book covers new developments in the area of algorithms, statistical physics, parallel computers and quantum computation, as well as recent advances concerning the standard model and beyond, the QCD vacuum, the glueball, hadron and quark masses, finite temperature and density, chiral fermions, SUSY, and heavy quark effective theory.

B Physics And Cp Violation: Bcp4 - Proceedings Of The International Workshop


Book Description

This book offers the first strong evidence of the existence of CP violation in neutral B decays extracted from sophisticated B factories in the US and Japan. It also holds out the expectation of rare B decays and D, K physics in the near future. In addition, new physics beyond the Standard Model is described. Both experimental and theoretical points of view are given.




Understanding Deconfinement In Qcd - Proceedings Of The International Workshop


Book Description

This volume summarizes our contemporary understanding of the deconfinement transition in QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential. Questions as to whether a quark-gluon plasma exists in the interior of dense astrophysical objects or which bound-state signals have to be studied in order to unambiguously detect the QCD phase transition(s) in future heavy-ion collision programmes at RHIC and LHC are addressed. Progress in answering these questions requires a fusion of lattice QCD with other nonperturbative approaches and low-energy effective models for QCD. Experts in these fields present in the book their methods and their results in understanding the deconfinement phenomenon.




Particle Physics Phenomenology - Proceedings Of The Third International Workshop


Book Description

At this workshop, there are two pedagogical lectures on heavy quark effective theory and heavy quarkonium, given by B Grinstein and E Braaten. This is followed by eighteen talks addressing recent experimental and theoretical developments on a variety of topics. They include applications of heavy quark effective theory, heavy ion physics, CP violation in kaon and bottom mesons, implications of Higgs particle discovery, rare decays of kaons and pions, and new physics beyond the standard model.




Chiral Dynamics 2006 - Proceedings Of The 5th International Workshop On Chiral Dynamics, Theory And Experiment


Book Description

Chiral Dynamics 2006 is the 5th International Workshop which examines the implications and the development of an approximate low-energy solution to the QCD Lagrangian based upon Chiral Symmetry. Advances in theory and experiment are presented in 20 plenary session papers along with more than one-hundred papers, including summaries, from the three working groups.




Structure Of The Eta Meson - Proceedings Of The International Workshop


Book Description

This volume focuses on theoretical and experimental aspects of the η′ meson. The η′ pseudoscalar meson plays a special role in QCD as its mass is largely due to the explicit breaking of the axial U(1) symmetry by the quantum fluctuations of QCD (axial anomaly). The precise mechanism that gives the η′ its large mass is not yet fully understood, and also the current knowledge of the η′ specific properties is far from complete. This volume addresses both theoretical and experimental open issues of relevance in our understanding of this peculiar meson.




Theory Of Hadrons And Light Front Qcd - Proceedings Of The Fourth International Workshop On Light-front Quantization And Non-perturbative Dynamics


Book Description

This volume includes 45 talks and reports from facilitated discussions by outstanding contributors to the theory of hadrons that cover the entire spectrum of computational strategies being developed to solve QCD.A new computational strategy for solving light-front QCD, a strategy which starts with a constituent quark model that can be solved using the weak-coupling methods of QED, is extensively reviewed.




Proceedings of the VIII International Workshop on Hadron Physics 2002


Book Description

This book provides in a pedogogical way up-to-date reviews of analytical approaches to QCD, high-energy astrophysics, QGP signatures and high-precision lattice QCD. It also contains presentations about experimental work on heavy-ion physics at RHIC and diffraction at HERA as well as communications on hadron physics.




Exciting Physics With New Accelerator Facilities - Proceedings Of The International Workshop


Book Description

This volume discusses the exciting physics with new accelerator facilities, which are being constructed or proposed in various places. The facilities are RHIC (Brookhaven), CEBAF (TJINP), SPring-8 (Nishi-Harima), RIBF (RIKEN), JHP (KEK-INS), RIB (MSU), LISS (IUCF) and COSY (Juelich). RHIC aims at the creation of a QCD deconfinement phase and the study of the properties of such matter. CEBAF and SPring-8 use leptons to probe the quark-gluon structures of hadrons and nuclei. LISS and COSY use high resolution hadron beams to study hadron structures. JHP produces strong secondary hadron beams for hyper-nuclear physics and rare decay studies of basic symmetries. RIBF and RIB produce radioactive nuclear beams for the study of the nuclear structure of unstable nuclei far from beta stability, and astrophysics issues.
