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

Following on from our post, highlighting inspiring #WomeninResearch and encouraging #MondayMotiviation to explore these subjects. @ChantalKobel presents Celticist, Nessa Ní Shéaghdha and her contributions to the discipline youtu.be/LGPLltjTBKw #DIASdiscovers
We have entered the last month to capture that amazing photo of the sky and win our Astrophotography competition. We are accepting photographs taken between 01 January 2020 and 31 March 2021. You can submit an entry up to Friday 02nd April 2021. More: dias.ie/reachforthesta…

Meet the Judges of our "Reach for the Stars" Astrophotography competition! @MartinaPQuinn is the Founder & Managing Director of @helloalicepr.
Want to learn more about what's happening on Mars? Check out our public lecture from November delivered Dr John Clinton and titled MarsQuakes! (5/5) youtu.be/_Lp0oLJ8Ahs
And then this Thursday @NASAMars Perseverance rover reaches Mars, which will try to land in a near equatorial crater called Jezero. Here you can see a possible route around the crater. (4/5)
Last Wednesday, the day the UAE revealed their first image of Mars, China's National Space Administration's Tianwen-1 arrived at Mars. This carries a rover which will be despatched to the surface in the coming months. (3/5) bbc.com/news/science-e…
First up is the @uaespaceagency's Hope mission entered orbit this day last week. It is the first inter-planetary mission by the UAE, and will stay in a wide orbit for one Martian year or two earth years to study climate and weather. (2/5)
It's a busy month over at our planetary neighbour Mars. Three missions headed there have or will enter orbit this month. Why so many at one time? They were timed to launch when the distance between the Earth and Mars was relatively short. (1/5)
