This is the second in a series of biannual informal workshops, the first of which was held at Izu in Japan, whose purpose is to encourage international co-operation, co-ordination and collaboration in lattice field theory through the early exchange of ideas and results.
The ILFTN is a research programme sponsored by Japan's JSPS aiming at building and expanding a co-operative international framework in lattice field theories among universities and research institutions in Japan, Germany, the UK and the USA. It is motivated by the growth of multinational computing and data sharing infrastructures, particularly the International Lattice Data Grid, that are creating new opportunities for collaborative research in lattice field theory. The SUPA is a Scotland-wide organisation supporting research and postgraduate training in several fields of physics including lattice field theory.
This 2nd ILFTN Workshop will comprise pedagogical introductions to topics in lattice QCD by invited speakers/discussion leaders, each linked to a set of short contributed presentations of recent results and a discussion session. The workshop is open to all researchers in the field.
There will be a reception at 18:00 on Sunday 6 March. The scientific programme of the workshop will start at 09:30 on Monday 7 March, comprise seven half-day sessions, and end around noon on Thursday 10 March. The workshop aims to make progress towards identifying and initiating the ILFTN research programme. Participants are encouraged to highlight opportunities for co-operation and collaboration in their presentations. The following topics have been selected to provide this focus and are linked to discussion sessions where the opportunities can be explored.
Actions, algorithms and implementations for light dynamical quarks
The production and sharing of lattice data now and in the future
The improved Wilson quark physics programme
The improved staggered quark physics programme
The twisted mass QCD programme
Physics with chirally symmetric actions
Heavy flavour physics and its experimental impact
