Evening session 6: Lattice Simulation for Hadron Phenomenology
- Vitaly Bornyakov (Logunov IHEP NRC KI)
The strong CP problem is one of the greatest puzzles in particle physics. It is fuelled by the absence of an electric dipole moment of the neutron. Peccei and Quinn proposed a new symmetry that suppresses CP-violating terms in the strong interactions, at the expense of predicting the existence of a new particle, the axion. In this talk I present a natural solution of the problem, arising...
This talk is devoted to machine learning methods applied to predict the critical behavior of lattice observables, in particular at the confinement / deconfinement phase transition in SU (2) and SU (3) gauge theories. We find that at the phase of deep deconfinement the neural network, trained on the lattice configurations of gauge fields as input data, finds correlations with the target...
Composite Higgs model often feature a new strongly interacting sector based on some gauge group and some number of fermions (flavors). The physical scale is typically set by the Goldstone decay constant $f_{PS}$ and a meson state with the appropriate quantum numbers is identified with the Higgs. The lightest vector meson in these scenarios is a potential new, so far undetected, particle. Its...
A major objective of lattice QCD is the computation of hadronic matrix elements. The standard method is to use three-point and four-point correlation functions. An alternative approach, requiring only the computation of two-point correlation functions is to use the Feynman-Hellmann theorem. In this talk we develop this method up to second order in perturbation theory, in a context appropriate...
We review the latest progress in lattice QCD calculations of x-dependent partonic distributions in the nucleon. These calculations rely on matrix elements probing spatial correlations between partons in a boosted hadron, that can be matched to light-cone correlations defining the relevant distributions. We discuss the recent theoretical and practical refinements of this strategy, as well as...
