Nominator's project description
| Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), i.e. the theory which describes the interaction between quarks and gluons, is one of the most demanding theories. The technical difficulties of many calculations actually limit the gain in understanding obtained from large particle accelerators. Dr. Vogelsang is one of the leading experts for higher-order perturbative QCD calculation, including resummation techniques. He has greatly advanced these techniques, applying them primarily to processes investigated at the RHIC accelerator of the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), to which he belongs. The main emphasis is on proton spin physics, focussing on the question how spin and orbital angular momentum is distributed among the quarks and gluons forming the proton. During his stay in Germany he plans to adopt these techniques to describe experiments at DESY, CERN and GSI-FAIR. |
