Venue: IFT-UNESP
QCD is the established theory for the strong interactions. At present, our knowledge of the QCD parameters, namely the quark masses and the strong coupling, αs,is the limiting factor in increasing the precision of several calculations within the Standard Model. In the absence of direct evidence for new physics at the LHC, precision calculations remain a possible route for unveiling Beyond Standard Model physics.
Topics that will be covered in this workshop include:
1. State-of-the-art extractions of αs and quark masses.
2. Theoretical developments and tools for αs and quark-mass determinations, on the lattice and in the continuum.
3. The impact of QCD parameters in calculations within and beyond the SM. Can we reach the required precision?
In parallel to this activity, ICTP-SAIFR is organizing a program on particle physics. Please check the website for more information: http://www.ictp-saifr.org/ictp-saifr-program-on-particle-physics/
There is no registration fee.
