Quantum Chromodynamics: Computational Aspects
Nuclear Theory
2016-12-14 v2 High Energy Physics - Lattice
Abstract
We present a brief introduction to QCD, the QCD phase diagram, and non-equilibrium phenomena in QCD. We emphasize aspects of the theory that can be addressed using computational methods, in particular euclidean path integral Monte Carlo, fluid dynamics, kinetic theory, classical field theory and holographic duality.
