Description

Workshop on Lattice QCD and Particle Physics

Precision measurements are an essential part of modern particle physics. Precise determination of the free parameters of the standard model (SM) leads to testing the SM and searching for signals of new physics. As particle physics at the precision frontier is becoming more and more interdisciplinary, the goal of this workshop is to bring together different communities in an informal and invigorating setting, with a limited number of talks per day and plenty of opportunity for discussion and collaboration.

Topics include:

  • Lattice QCD
  • Flavor Physics
  • BELLE and BELLE2 Experiments
  • Particle Physics Phenomenology

The venue: 

The venue is Building 56 Room 521 (Seminar Room) at SNU. Department of Physics and Astronomy is located in Building 56, 22, and 23 beside the main library of SNU.

Acknowledgement: 

This workshop is supported by the BK21+ Program of Frontier Physics Research Division and by the World-leading University Fostering Program of SNU.

        The B to D*lv semileptonic decay at non-zero recoil from the Fermilab/MILC collaborations 1h Building 56 Room 521 (Seminar Room)

        Building 56 Room 521 (Seminar Room)

        Seoul National University (SNU)

        Seoul, South Korea

        In this. talk we show the current status of the B to D*lv calculation at non-zero recoil, carried out within the Fermilab and MILC collaborations. We present an overview of the calculation and we show the current preliminary results. We also emphasize some pitfalls we have encountered during the project.
        Our analysis includes 15 MILC asqtad ensembles with N_f=2+1 flavors of sea quarks, and lattice spacings ranging from a=0.15 fm to a=0.045 fm. The light valence quarks use the asqtad action, whereas the heavy quarks are treated using the Fermilab action.

        We study a holographic dual of near conformal dynamics. Using gauge-gravity duality, we calculate the mass of light dilaton and derive of the scale anomaly. Finally we show that the PCDC hypothesis holds in the holographic dual.

        Lattice QCD plays an important role in the high-intensity frontier and precision flavor physics. High precision requires the development of new ideas and methods in the lattice QCD calculations. In this talk, I will discuss the coordinate-space method and introduce our recent work on the calculations of hadron-mass splitting, neutrinoless double beta decay, pion charge radius and pi0 -> two photon decays et. al.

        Neutron electric dipole moment on the lattice 45m Building 56 Room 521 (Seminar Room)

        Neutrons can have nonvanishing electric dipole moment (EDM) when the theory has broken P and T symmetries. Since the CP violation (CPV) arising from the standard model (SM) is small or strongly suppressed at high temperature, new CPV from beyond the SM (BSM) is needed to explain the baryogenesis, and EDMs of elementary particles, such as the neutron, are good probes of such BSM physics. In this talk, I will present results for contributions to the neutron EDM arising from the QCD theta-term, the Weinberg three-gluon operator and the quark chromo-EDM from our ongoing lattice calculations using clover valence quarks on the MILC HISQ lattices.

        Dark pion DM : WIMP vs. SIMP 1h Building 56 Room 521 (Seminar Room)

        Scale invariant extension of the SM with QCD-like strongly interacting hidden (dark) sector is interesting, since the dimensional transmutation and chiral symmetry breaking in the hidden sector could be the origin of electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB), and all the masses of the SM particles as well as dark pions and dark baryons that could be good cold dark matter candidates. In this talk I will discuss dark pion DM as WIMP vs. SIMP. Ignoring the West-Zumio-Witten (WZW) interaction, I first discuss dark pion as a WIMP using two different approaches, the chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) and AdS/QCD. Then I include the WZW interaction and discuss dark pion within SIMP scenario. However, the analysis based on ChPT indicates that the viable parameter space for SIMP seems to be outside the validity region of ChPT. I show that this problem can be resolved if we include dark vector mesons, and the SIMP idea can be realized in the dark pion sector.

        There are a number of long-standing discrepancies between observables in b->c semileptonic decays and their Standard Model predictions. In addition there is the long-standing tension between inclusive and exclusive determinations of Vcb, the latter being obtained from these same decays. Here I will discuss state-of-the-art lattice simulations addressing these issues. After reviewing the status of B->D(*) form factors I will discuss in more detail new results from HPQCD that treat the 'b' quark fully relativistically.

        Lattice QCD thermodynamics in heavy dense regime 45m Building 56 Room 521 (Seminar Room)

        The straightforward Monte Carlo simulation to Investigate the QCD phase diagram in finite termperature and baryon chemical potential is prohibited by the sign problem due to the complex fermion determinant. Indirect method can explore the low density region $\mu_B \le 3T$, where the sign problem is not severe. Rewriting the action can make the sign problem mild. Hence, we introduce the effective theoey and as a first step, we present the SU(3) spin model which is a effective model of Polyakov loop for QCD at finite temperature and density. After that we introduce the effective 3D model which is combined strong coupling expansion and hopping parameter expansion for QCD in heavy dense regime.
