We adopt a $T$-matrix approach to study quarkonium properties and heavy-quark transport in a Quark-Gluon Plasma. The $T$-matrix approach is well suited to implement potential scattering and thus provides a common framework for low-momentum…
Lattice QCD results relevant to heavy quark physics are reviewed. In particular new results will be shown that, for the first time, include dynamical quarks in the QCD vacuum which are close enough to being realistic to allow accurate…
In this talk I discuss three recent developments in the theoretical understanding of the phase diagram of the strong interaction. The first topic deals with the comparison of model calculations of the quark-hadron transition at vanishing…
The past few years have seen many interesting theoretical developments in lattice QCD. This talk (which is intended for non-experts) focuses on the problem of non-perturbative renormalization and the question of how precisely the continuum…
We propose a systematic, model-independent treatment of electric dipole transitions of heavy quarkonium. Within an effective field theory, concretely potential non-relativistic QCD, the relativistic corrections of relative order $v^2$ to…
Light and heavy-light (b) hadrons are among the most interesting and among the most challenging quantities to calculate in lattice gauge theory. One would like to avoid discretization effects from very heavy quarks and to calculate chiral…
Following the procedure and motivations developed by Richardson, Buchmuller and Tye, we derive the potential of static quarks consistent with both the three-loop running of QCD coupling constant under the two-loop perturbative matching of V…
I review some of the contributions which lattice simulations are likely to make during the next five years or so to the development of our understanding of particle physics. Particular emphasis is given to the evaluation of non-perturbative…
I review recent new lattice QCD results on a few selected topics which are relevant to the heavy ion physics community. Special emphasis is put on the QCD phase diagram towards the chiral limit and at nonzero baryon density as well as the…
Exotic quarkonia are candidates to new types of hadrons including four quarks or gluonic degrees of freedom as constituents, the latter being a unique feature of QCD. We review recent developments in nonrelativistic EFTs to describe exotic…
These notes aim to provide a pedagogical introduction to Lattice QCD. The topics covered include the scope of LQCD calculations, lattice discretization of gauge and fermion (naive, Wilson, and staggered) actions, doubling problem, improved…
Nonperturbative QCD approach is systematically derived starting from the QCD Lagrangian. Treating spin effects as a perturbation, one obtains the universal effective Hamiltonian describing mesons, hybrids and glueballs. Constituent mass of…
The status of Lattice QCD is reviewed with respect to results that are relevant to Standard Model phenomenology. I argue that in a few simple cases all (or almost all) systematic errors from the lattice calculation are under control.…
This paper is a review of heavy quarks in lattice gauge theory, focusing on methodology. It includes a status report on some of the calculations that are relevant to heavy-quark spectroscopy and to flavor physics.
Several physical problems in particle physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics require information from non-perturbative QCD to gain a full understanding. In some cases the most reliable technique for quantitative results is to carry out…
I describe some of the many connections between lattice QCD and effective field theories, focusing in particular on chiral effective theory, and, to a lesser extent, Symanzik effective theory. I first discuss the ways in which effective…
Review of results from lattice QCD of relevance to standard-model phenomenology, to appear in Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science. KEY WORDS: hadron masses, quark mixing (CKM) matrix, weak matrix elements, strong coupling…
Recent striking lattice results on strong interaction and bound states above T_c can be explained by the nonperturbative Q\bar Q potential, predicted more than a decade ago in the framework of the field correlator method. Explicit…
Starting from the NRQCD Lagrangian the heavy quark-antiquark potential is written in terms of field strength insertions on a static Wilson loop. The relevant matching coefficients are given at the present status of knowledge. The…
We match continuum and lattice heavy-light four-fermion operators at one loop in perturbation theory. For the heavy quarks we use nonrelativistic QCD and for the massless light quarks the highly improved staggered quark action. We include…
