Title: Light Hadron Spectrum from a Yang-Mills Matrix Model
Speaker: Mahul Pandey (DIAS)
Abstract: The SU(3) Yang-Mills matrix model coupled to fundamental fermions is an approximation of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) on a 3-sphere of radius R. The spectrum of this matrix model Hamiltonian estimated using standard variational methods, and is analyzed in the strong coupling limit. By employing a renormalization prescription to determine the dependence of the Yang-Mills coupling and the bare quark masses on R, we relate the asymptotic values of the energy eigenvalues in the flat space limit to the masses of light hadrons. We find that the matrix model estimates the light hadron spectrum fairly accurately, with most masses falling within 15% of their observed values

A nice FREE tool from our partners at @GeolSurvIE and @MarineInst. Story maps might be especially helpful for some at home geography lessons 🚢🗺️ #COVID19 #Learningathome #DIASdiscovers #Homeschooling2020 twitter.com/followtheboats…
This #TBT we went back to our websites first news story published 13 Jan 2010: Professor Felix Aharonian from @DIASAstronomy had just jointly won the Rossi Prize; a prestigious award from the @AAS_office, for outstanding contributions to imaging TeV Astronomy #DIASdiscovers
Just in case you have had a 'Eureka' moment in the weeks you've been at home, and have an event idea for this coming Science Week, @scienceirel has revised the deadline for submission of applications to the SFI Discover Programme - Science Week Call 2020. #DIASdiscovers
Look to the stars this evening, you might catch the International Space Station (ISS) visible over Ireland at 8.45pm. 🌌 DIAS completed the first ever Irish experiment on the ISS using DIAS detectors to measure the effects of cosmic radiation on the human body. #DIASdiscovers
📢 Calling all Irish Secondary Students 📢 Ireland joined ESO in 2018, and so this is now open to Irish students. DIAS' @TomRayDIAS was appointed as the astronomer representing Ireland on the ESO Council at that time. @issu4u @carlobrien @ScoilnetPPrim @NPCpp #DIASdiscovers twitter.com/ESO/status/124…
In keeping with fun educational scientific activities in the home, we thought this listing from the @Perimeter might be a welcome distraction for kids (and parents) #stayathome #coronavirus #quarantinelife twitter.com/Perimeter/stat…
ICYMI- @Luke_Drury in a timely article by @sthompsonIT of the @IrishTimes "We need a structure within the academic community that can feed knowledge, expertise and insight into policy making in Ireland." #DIASdiscovers
Instruments that will be used on the James Webb Space Telescope were developed by scientists led by @TomRayDIAS, from the @DIASAstronomy #DIASdiscovers
The final #Syngeweek part is now live on our website. "Yet meet we shall, and part and meet again Where dead men meet, on lips of living men." dias.ie/2020/03/23/syn… Returning visitors don't forget to clear your cookies! #DIASdiscovers
Today is the 25th anniversary of the passing of Professor J.L Synge. Part 6 and the final #SyngeWeek installment will go live this evening on our website at 6pm #DIASdiscovers
What a great idea! 👩🚀👩🚀 twitter.com/SpaceStnExplor…
