Research Group
1.Name of Research Group:NpQCD Group
Description of Research Group:Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the fundamental theory of strong interactions, describing the interactions between quarks and gluons. At low energy scales, QCD is strongly coupled, leading to significant non-perturbative phenomena such as confinement and chiral symmetry breaking. Non-perturbative calculations in QCD represent one of the most challenging problems in physics, yet they are essential for answering some of the most fundamental questions, such as how quarks and gluons combine to form hadrons and how nuclear forces emerge to bind nucleons. The non-perturbative properties of hadrons, such as protons, are also at the forefront of current and upcoming high-energy experiments, including the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) and the Super Tau Charm Facility (STCF).
Our team focuses on solving strongly coupled quantum field theories and understanding the structure of hadrons. Our primary goal is to explore how the non-perturbative structure of hadrons arises from quarks and gluons. To address this challenging problem, we employ a combination of theoretical, phenomenological, and computational approaches. One of our preferred methods is the light-front Hamiltonian formalism, in which the structure of hadrons is fully described by wavefunctions defined on the light-front $x^+ = t + z/c$, closely related to the partonic structure of hadrons. Our ultimate aim is to develop a computational framework capable of directly solving for light-front wavefunctions starting from the QCD Hamiltonian.
