Theoretical High Energy Physics

本课程将研究基本粒子和基本力理论中的各种问题。这项工作将包括弦理论、晶格场理论、量子色动力学中的独占过程的研究，以及场论技术在各种其他问题上的应用。弦理论是联系和描述所有基本力的一种非常有前途的尝试。格子理论是通过用离散的点阵代替空间的连续统来处理复杂系统的一种尝试。量子色动力学是强核力的主要候选理论，排他过程是导致最终粒子特定集合的过程。要做的工作将涵盖今天基本粒子理论中的一些主要推动力。

A broad variety of problems in the theory of the elementary particles and the fundamental forces will be studied. The work will include investigations of string theory, lattice field theories, exclusive processes in quantum chromodynamics, and applications of field theoretic techniques to a variety of other problems. String theory is a very promising attempt to relate and describe all the fundamental forces. Lattice theory is an attempt to deal with complex systems by replacing the continuum of space by a discrete lattice of points. Quantum chromodynamics is the leading candidate theory of the strong nuclear force, and exclusive processes are ones leading to a specific collection of final particles. The work to be done will cover a number of the leading thrusts in elementary particle theory today.
