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

The Theroretical Physics theme for the 80th anniversary is "Quantum, Inifinity and Beyond" The events will tie in the main research topics of the School and draw on its rich history. More on DIAS 2020 can be found here: dias.ie/dias2020/
DIAS School of Theoretical Physics is one of the two founding Schools. It's first Director was the renowned Physicist Erwin Schrödinger, and the School can boast a number of other big names in Irish and International physics and mathematics. #DIASdiscovers
DIAS & @esa Solar Orbiter. Professor Peter Gallagher and Dr Shane Maloney worked on the recently launched space mission. dias.ie/2020/02/11/dia… #DIASdiscovers #WeAreAllSolarOrbiters #SolarOrbiter
On 5th February 1943, Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Prof Erwin Schrödinger, then Director of Theoretical Physics at DIAS, delivered the first of his renowned ‘What is Life?’ lectures. He delivered further lectures in his ‘What is Life?’ series over the following month.
