Seminar Lorenzo Barca - Unveiling Nucleon Structure through Lattice QCD simulations
January 08, 2025 16:30 - Physical Seminar Series Announcement!
Nucleons, some of the most abundant particles in our Universe, hold
the key to unraveling some of the most profound mysteries in particle
physics and cosmology. They play a central role in several experiments
designed to test the limits of the Standard Model and search for
evidence of physics beyond it. A high-precision understanding of the
nucleon structure is essential both for refining our understanding of
quantum chromodynamics (QCD) — the theory describing the strong
interactions of quarks and gluons — and interpreting experimental data
with the precision required. In this talk, I will provide an
accessible introduction to lattice QCD, a powerful numerical approach
that leverages supercomputers to simulate the fundamental forces
within nucleons from first principles. I will also highlight how this
technique enables us to compute important parameters that are needed
to analyse some experimental data and I will focus on my contributions
to this research field.
Venue: Classroom C3, Physics Department, building 32 C, 6th floor
After the seminar a light refreshment will be served to favor discussions
