AboutAbout the lab
Elementary particle theory on a lattice
The Kikukawa Lab specializes in elementary particle theory and studies quantum field theory and lattice gauge theory.
The lab belongs to the Physics Group of the Division of Basic Science, Department of General Systems Studies, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
At the undergraduate level, the lab is in charge of the Mathematical and Natural Sciences Course in the Department of Integrated Natural Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences.
Key terms
- Elementary particle theory
- The field of theory that studies the smallest particles that make up matter and the forces acting between them
- Quantum field theory
- A theory that treats "fields" spread throughout space using quantum mechanics. It is the foundation for describing the behavior of elementary particles
- Lattice gauge theory
- A method that replaces spacetime with a set of lattice points, putting elementary particle theory into a form that can be computed
