Part 7/9:
Through the lattice QCD framework, significant strides have been made in understanding hadronic properties, including mass calculations and decay rates. The historical backdrop of this development reveals its roots in the pioneering work of Kenneth Wilson, whose contributions laid the groundwork in the 1970s. With modern computational advances, lattice QCD has expanded its capability, delivering accurate predictions that advance our comprehension of fundamental physics and phenomena such as quark-gluon plasma.
