Topics in Theoretical Physics

卡尔·卡尔森教授是低能粒子物理和核物理感兴趣的问题的主要贡献者，特别是关于胶子强子的工作。他建议继续他在微扰QCD方面的工作，并开发一台用于执行晶格规范计算的专用计算机。他还计划从夸克团簇模型计算低能核子-核子相互作用。近年来，核物理学家开始对粒子物理学中的低能领域的问题感兴趣。这一举措增加了粒子物理学家和核物理学家在共同感兴趣的问题上的互动。在这种界面体系中，卡尔森教授对物理学的发展起到了重要的作用。他建议研究夸克自由度在决定核子-核子相互作用和原子核性质中所起的作用。他还提议在威廉与玛丽学院建造一台计算机，专门用于进行与这些问题相关的计算。这项重要的研究应该有助于推进物理学的这一前沿领域。

Professor Carl Carlson is a major contributor to problems of interest to low-energy particle physics and nuclear physics, particularly regarding work on gluonic hadrons. He proposes to continue his work on perturbative QCD as well as to develop a dedicated computer for performing lattice gauge calculations. He also plans to calculate the low-energy nucleon-nucleon interaction from a quark cluster model. In recent years nuclear physicists have become interested in problems in the low-energy region of particle physics. This move has increased the interactions between particle and nuclear physicists concerning problems of common interest. Professor Carlson has played an important role in the development of physics in this interface regime. He proposes to do research regarding the role that the quark degrees of freedom play in determining the nucleon-nucleon interaction and the properties of atomic nuclei. He also proposes to build a computer at the College of William and Mary especially for performing calculations related to these problems. This important research should help to advance this forefront area of physics.
