Hadronic and gluonic excitations using improved lattice simulation technology

[00:7336 . 62]理论核物理学的研究将研究核子、含有激发态胶子的奇异介子和重子的激发，胶子的束缚态（称为胶球），以及利用计算机模拟夸克和胶子的两个强子系统中的相互作用。这些系统应该提供关于夸克约束的重要线索，而夸克约束在我们试图理解强核力的过程中是至关重要的。该项目的目标在很大程度上与托马斯·杰斐逊国家加速器设施的科学使命有关。

0073362FiebigResearch in theoretical nuclear physics will study excitations ofthe nucleon, exotic mesons and baryons containing excited gluons,bound states of gluons known as glueballs, and the interactions intwo hadron systems using computer simulations of quarks and gluons. These systems should provide vital clues about quark confinementwhich is of central importance in our attempt to understand thestrong nuclear force. The project goals relate in large part to thescientific mission of the Thomas Jefferson National AcceleratorFacility.
