US -Australia Cooperative Research: A Functional Approach to Strong Coupling in QED & QCD

在这次合作中，布朗大学物理系的赫伯特·弗里德博士将与澳大利亚墨尔本大学物理系的布莱恩·麦凯勒博士合作，在包含夸克和胶子的非微扰形式下，关于量子色动力学中红外近似定义的问题，以及夸克-反夸克和三夸克态的束缚结构。现有的技术和理论不能应用于大型结构。美国PI最近定义了处理这一问题的新方法，并将与澳大利亚该领域的领先专家合作。这些结果可能会加深我们对物质的基本结构和行为的理解。

In this collaboration, Dr. Herbert Fried, of the Brown University Department of Physics, will work with Dr. Brian McKellar at the Department of Physics of the University of Melbourne, Australia, on problems associated with the definition of the infrared approximation in Quantum Chromodynamics, in a non-perturbative formalism containing both quarks and gluons, and the binding structure of quark-antiquark and three-quark states. Current techniques and theory cannot be applied to large-scale structure. The U.S. PI has recently defined new methods to approach the problem and would collaborate with Australia's leading expert in this field. The results may enhance our understanding of the fundamental structure and behavior of matter.
