SUMMARY: Particle physics and supercomputing: understanding matter - Prof

DESCRIPTION:Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory that describes how 
 the fundamental building blocks of matter - quarks and gluons - are bound 
 together to make protons and neutrons. I will describe this theory and how
  it can help us to understand matter in the world around us as well as exo
 tic matter that was formed in the early universe\, fractions of a second a
 fter the big bang.\nNumerical simulations play a crucial role in QCD and I
  will discuss why and how the world's most powerful supercomputers are use
 d to understand the properties of matter.
