[Theory-seminars] Theory Seminar Tomorrow - Christopher Thomas

[Caroline Costa]

Hello All,

Tomorrow at 1:00 PM (EST) Christopher Thomas will give our final (virtual) theory seminar of the Fall term.
Christopher's seminar will be held virtually on our usual ZoomGov link: https://jlab-org.zoomgov.com/j/1611179843?pwd=M09CNTFpbFVZSW1IQlhIMGp3RUVHUT09
Please see below for the title and abstract.

Theory Seminar
Monday, December 12th at 1:00 PM

Christopher Thomas (University of Cambridge)
will discuss "Hadron scattering, resonances and exotics from lattice QCD"

Abstract:
I will discuss some recent progress in studying hadrons using first-principles lattice QCD calculations. The spectroscopy and interactions of hadrons probe the strongly-interacting regime of QCD, and in recent years experiments have observed a number of puzzling hadrons that challenge our understanding of the strong interaction. Lattice QCD provides a method for performing first-principles computations of the properties of hadrons and hence a QCD-based understanding of the phenomena. However, the majority of hadrons are unstable -- they decay strongly and appear as resonances in hadron-hadron scattering -- and lattice calculations of these are challenging. I will summarise recent advances in this area and present some applications in the heavy-meson sector, including calculations of $D\pi$, $DK$, and $D\bar{K}$ scattering relevant for the $D^*_0(2300)$ and the enigmatic $D^*_{s0}(2317)$.

See you tomorrow!
Caroline, Colin & Patrick
