講義の概要とねらい
Hadrons are particles which interact with strong forces. Hadrons are grouped into baryons and mesons. Examples are proton, neutron and pion. Most of the visible mass in our universe is due to the hadron mass. In the lecture, it is explained that hadrons are composed of quarks and anti-quarks. The features of flavor and color charge are also explained. Explanation is given on the roles of gluons, the force carriers, based on Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) which is the theory of strong interaction. The coupling constant of the strong interaction and asymptotic freedom, which is the outstanding feature of QCD, are explained. Chiral symmetry and its dynamical breaking are explained in the context of the mass generation of hadron. Effective models based on chiral symmetry for hadron physics are explained.
The purpose of the course is to let the students understand hadrons which constitute the present universe, and to understand quarks, gluons, and QCD which is the theory of strong interaction. Another purpose is to let the students know theoretical tools to study hadron physics.
