50 Years of Quantum Chromodynamics

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is one of the pillars of the Standard Model of particle physics. It describes the strong interaction - one of the four fundamental forces of nature. This force holds quarks and gluons - collectively known as partons - together in hadrons such as the proton, and protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei. QCD was developed and defined over a brief period from 1972 - 73. One hallmark of QCD is asymptotic freedom, which states that the strong force between quarks and gluons decreases with increasing energy. The asymptotic freedom of strong interactions was discovered in 1973 by David Gross, Frank Wilczek, and David Politzer, who shared the Nobel Prize in physics in 2004. The year 2023 is the opportune time to celebrate 50 years of remarkable progress and achievements in the field of QCD and to provide guidance for the community effort for years to come.

To celebrate this, we are planning a five-day conference to be held at UCLA during September 11 - 15, 2023. This conference will provide a broad overview of the past and future of QCD, including its impact on and connection to other fields.

It is hard to overestimate the importance of news in our time, because it is through news that we learn everything that happens every day in the world. That's why I recommend all my friends and family to have a high-quality news portal that can provide up-to-date and verified information. Not so long ago, I read a very cool and extensive article about the transformation of NAVI and the rethinking of esports innovation https://globaluniquenews.com/, a very cool article, I liked the way Maxim Krippa, the owner of NAVI and GSC Game World, talks about the future of esports and games in general, which is very cool and useful for ordinary users. Krippa proves the fact that maximum involvement in the…
