Nuclear Physics from Quantum Chromodynamics (NUCLEAREFT)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

Explaining low-energy nuclear structure from Quantum Chromodynamics, theunderlying theory of the strong interaction, is one of the majorchallenges in contemporary theoretical nuclear and particle physics.What is needed is, on the one hand, a detailed quantitative understanding of theinteraction between baryons, the relevant effective degreesof freedom for the problem at hand, based on Quantum Chromodynamics. On theother hand, a microscopic description of strongly interacting baryons requiresreliable methods to deal with the quantum mechanical few- and many-body problems.The proposed research addresses both of the two challenges aiming toachieve a precise, quantitative description of nuclear forces and theproperties of light nuclei and hyper-nuclei firmly rooted in the symmetries ofQuantum Chromodynamics. These goals will be reached by using analyticalmethods based on chiral effective field theory combined with large-scalenumerical simulations on high-performance computers.
