This group works in a wide range of theoretical physics from phenomenology
to String Theory. The research in phenomenology is aimed at extending the
Standard Model, whereas the research in String Theory is aimed at unifying
both General Relativity and the Standard Model via a single framework,
String Theory.
The Computational Physics Group pursues research of the elementally particle physics by numerical simulations on a massively parallel computer. Our group consists of two subgroups. "QCD subgroup" studies the physics of the strong interaction by Monte-Carlo simulations of lattice QCD. "MINAMI-TATEYA subgroup" performs theoretical simulations of various decay processes for analyses of data from accelerator experiments.
This group conducts theoretical studies on hadron/nuclear physics and
quantum fields. Current topics include hadronic interaction and
high-energy hadron scattering in QCD, structure functions of the
nucleon and nuclei, quark-hadron matters, nuclei with strangeness,
string theory, gauge theories, and fundamental aspects of quantum
mechanics.
