Theoretical Particle Physics

Research Interests

My collaborators and I seek to understand the nature of the strong force by studying the consequences of the theory of ``Quantum Chromodynamics'' (QCD).  We use a powerful non-perturbative formulation of QCD, ``lattice QCD'', which requires the use of supercomputers, but which can evaluate properties of strongly-interacting particles (hadrons) with controllable systematic errors.  Using a formulation with exact chiral symmetry on the lattice, we are exploring the structure of the QCD vacuum, and are investigating the properties of hadrons at low quark mass and large spatial volume.
