Description

The aim of this meeting is to bring together UK researchers in lattice field theory. The program will contain a number of invited talks, showing the broad range of topics studied. Participants interested in bringing a poster are encouraged to indicate this in the registration form.

Confirmed speakers:

Sadaf Alam (University of Bristol, Advanced Computing Research Centre)
Debasish Banerjee (University of Southampton)
Olmo Francesconi (University of Glasgow)
Vera Gülpers (University of Edinburgh)
James Hancock (University of Plymouth)
Petr Kravchuk (King's College London)
Nelson Lachini (University of Cambridge)
Rajnandini Mukherjee (University of Edinburgh)
Chanju Park (Swansea University)
Mark Parsons (University of Edinburgh, EPCC)
Teseo San José (University of Edinburgh)

Registration:

Registration is now open and will close on Friday 14th of March.

Please note there is no conference fee to attend this meeting. Participants will be required to arrange and pay for their own accommodation, as well as travel arrangements. A reimbursement procedure with the University of Liverpool will be arranged for Early Career Researchers at a later stage, with reimbursed amounts yet to be specified. A list of accommodation suggestions has been uploaded for your reference.

Travel Scam! If you received emails from travellerpoint(dot)org (or another travel company), please be careful. The email asks about arrival and departure dates to Edinburgh and offers a hotel booking form where they ask for credit card details.

        Lattice QCD calculations for Muon g-2 30m

        The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is a promising quantity for discovering new physics, and exhibits a tension between the experimental measurement and the current Standard Model prediction. However, this prediction has been relying on determining the hadronic vacuum polarisation (HVP) contribution using complementary experimental data (R-ratio). Recently, lattice QCD calculations of the HVP have reached precision competitive to the R-ratio determinations. In this talk I will review the status of theory predictions of the HVP, and present recent results of the RBC/UKQCD collaboration for the long-distance contribution to the HVP.
