The lab uses theory to explore the world of elementary particles and atomic nuclei.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring elementary particles and atomic nuclei through theory
The Nuclear Theory Lab studies physics related to elementary particles and atomic nuclei from a theoretical standpoint.
The research keywords listed by the faculty include quarks, gluons, hadron structure, lattice gauge theory, and heavy-ion collisions.
The lab belongs to the Quantum Fundamental Physics Division of the Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science.
Key terms
- Hadron
- A collective term for particles formed when quarks are bound together. Protons and neutrons are also hadrons
- Lattice gauge theory
- A method that divides spacetime into a lattice and numerically computes, on computers, theories of the forces acting on elementary particles
- Heavy-ion collisions
- Reactions and experiments in which heavy atomic nuclei are collided with each other
