MISUMI Tatsuhiro: Associate Professor Ph.D; Department/Science　 Graduate school/Science

The most elementary objects in nature, called "elementary particles", are described by the theory named as "quantum field theory". In quantum field theory, the existence of particles is itself uncertain and the particles can emerge from the vacuum and can disappear too. In our Lab., we investigate the ways of analyzing quantum field theory and apply them to realistic phenomena in order to obtain deeper understanding of the nature.

Research and Achievements	02_misumi_tatsuhiro.pdf In quantum field theory, the existence of particles is itself uncertain and the particles can emerge from the vacuum and can disappear too. In our Lab., we investigate the ways of analyzing quantum field theory and apply them to realistic phenomena in order to obtain deeper understanding of the nature. In particular, we attempt to understand "quark confinement" and "mass gap generation" which result in the formation of protons and neutrons by use of mathematical and computational methods.
