Theoretical Particle Physics

The University of Wuppertal is one of Germany's most distinguished research institutions in lattice gauge theory. Among the interests of the local groups are: quantum chromodynamics (QCD), thermodynamics of quarks and gluons, fundamental parameters of QCD, muon anomalous magnetic moment, algorithms for lattice QCD, chiral fermions, CP violation, Higgs physics and extra dimensions. There are intensive national and international collaborations, for example the Budapest-Marseille-Wuppertal collaboration (http://www.bmw.uni-wuppertal.de/) and the DFG research unit "Future methods for studying confined gluons in QCD" (https://confluence.desy.de/display/for5269).
