Objectif
Explaining low-energy nuclear structure from Quantum Chromodynamics, the
underlying theory of the strong interaction, is one of the major
challenges in contemporary theoretical nuclear and particle physics.
What is needed is, on the one hand, a detailed quantitative understanding of the
interaction between baryons, the relevant effective degrees
of freedom for the problem at hand, based on Quantum Chromodynamics. On the
other hand, a microscopic description of strongly interacting baryons requires
reliable methods to deal with the quantum mechanical few- and many-body problems.
The proposed research addresses both of the two challenges aiming to
achieve a precise, quantitative description of nuclear forces and the
properties of light nuclei and hyper-nuclei firmly rooted in the symmetries of
Quantum Chromodynamics. These goals will be reached by using analytical
methods based on chiral effective field theory combined with large-scale
numerical simulations on high-performance computers.
