The book is based on the lectures delivered at the XCIII Session of the École de Physique des Houches, held in August, 2009. The aim of the event was to familiarize the new generation of PhD students and postdoctoral fellows with the principles and methods of modern lattice field theory, which aims to resolve fundamental, non-perturbative questions about QCD without uncontrolled approximations. The emphasis of the book is on the theoretical developments that have shaped the field in the last two decades and that have turned lattice gauge theory into a robust approach to the determination of low energy hadronic quantities and of fundamental parameters of the Standard Model. By way of introdu...
This book covers a wide range of subjects in lattice field theory. These include quantum chromodynamics, Higgs-fermion theories, QED, lattice quantum gravity and random surfaces, spin systems related to field theory, simulation algorithms and dedicated computers. This complete and up-to-date review will provide a useful systematic survey of state of the art research in lattice field theory and related subjects.
The topics covered in this book include: The standard model. Strong interactions. Collider physics. Lattice QCD. Supersymmetry without superfields. Composite quark models. Beyond the standard models.
