Lattice QCD

by Dr. Andreas Jüttner (University of Southampton)

Wednesday 27 April 2016 from 14:30 to 15:30 (Europe/London)
at Chadwick Laboratory ( Barkla Lecture Theatre )
Description
Lattice QCD is playing a crucial role in precision tests of the Standard Model by predicting hadronic matrix elements (decay constants, form factors, ...) model-independently. After providing an overview of what can be expected from state-of-the-art lattice QCD computations (and also, what can not yet be expected), I will provide examples for how experiment and theory work hand in hand towards over-constraining SM parameters, concentrating on Quark Flavour Physics. I will close with an overview of new challenges and opportunities.
