Colloquium: Where do the proton mass and spin come from?

Date:
-
Location:
CP155
Speaker(s) / Presenter(s):
Prof. Keh-Fei Liu, University of Kentucky

I will give a synopsis on Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) — the fundamental theory of strong interaction, and some of its consequences.
Lattice gauge theory is introduced as a practical way of solving the theory through computer simulation with Monte Carlo methods.
I will show how the proton mass and spin are divided into their quark and glue components in lattice QCD calculations.
