The Physics Seminar usually takes place in HSCI-103 (map), 12-1pm unless specified otherwise. Please bring your own lunch and drinks to the seminar!
SPECIAL PHYSICS SEMINAR
Spectroscopy and Structure in Two Flavor QCD
Joseph Day
Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Graz, Austria
Friday, February 7, 2012, 12pm, in HSCI-103
We report results from a study regarding the spectra and properties of light-baryons within a relativistic two flavor quantum chromodynamic (QCD) model. The (linear) confinement is taken according to the QCD string tension and the (flavor-dependent) hyperfine interaction is derived from an effective Lagrangian resulting from chiral-symmetry breaking. In general, the spectra are reproduced in good agreement with known phenomenological values for ground and excited states. In addition we find strong agreement with regards to structure and electroweak properties.

Physics Seminars
are "brown bag seminars" where we discuss in an informal setting new developments in the research groups at the department, in the physics community, or concepts to which a usual lecture cannot devote enough time.
Theses defenses
Each Master's student should present in about 30min his/her thesis. Announcements are made on this page.
