Description

SU(2) gauge theory is asymptotically free with Nf <= 10 fundamental representation fermions. Above approximately 6 fermion flavours the theory is expected to have an infrared fixed point. We study the evolution of the coupling using the gradient flow step scaling mehtod, and investigate the behaviour of the hadron spectrum as we cross from the confining into the conformal region.
