Theoretical Studies of Hadronic and Nuclear Dynamics

众所周知，最近开发的有效场论方法在我们尝试将原子核的性质与夸克和胶子的基本动力学（量子色动力学）联系起来时非常有用。 我们的目标是进一步发展核有效理论及其应用。 我们的研究不仅加深了对核强子物理的理解，而且对核天体物理和超越标准模型的物理探索具有重要影响。 我们的研究与正在进行和未来的中微子实验有着特别密切的联系，这些实验旨在寻找非标准物理的信号。 预算允许我们聘请一名博士后研究员来加入我们的研究工作。 合格的研究生可以在第二年和第三年被录用。

The recently developed effective field theory approach is known to be highly useful in our attempt to relate the properties of atomic nuclei to the underlying dynamics of the quarks and gluons, quantum chromodynamics. We aim here to make further developments of nuclear effective theory and its applications. Our investigations not only deepen the understanding of nuclear-hadron physics but also have important bearing upon nuclear astrophysics and search for physics beyond the standard model. Our study has particularly close connections with the on-going and future neutrino experiments that are meant to look for signals for non-standard physics. The budget allows us to hire a post-doctoral fellow to join our research effort. A qualified graduate student can be hired in years two and three.
