QCD vacuum and confinement
High Energy Physics - Lattice

Abstract
This course consists of two lectures. In the first lecture I discuss why a non perturbative formulation of QCD is needed, and I show that lattice formulation copes with this need, even if it mainly produces numerical results. In the second lecture I discuss how lattice can help to understand the deconfinement transition.Such understanding is also important to predict parameters that can help in the interpretation of heavy ions high energy experiments.
