Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Dr. Creutz is a theoretical particle physicist who is known internationally for his pioneering contributions to lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). His seminal papers of the early 1980s demonstrated for the first time that confinement and asymptotic freedom coexist as fundamental properties of QCD. Owing to his work, numerical simulations have become the most important method for treating the strong nuclear force at low energies. During his stay in Germany, Dr. Creutz intends to extend his recent research on efficient discretizations of QCD, which preserve the so-called chiral symmetry.
Dr. Creutz is hosted by Professor Wittig at the University of Mainz.
