In summary, exploring QCD theory is a complex and challenging journey for PhD students. It involves studying the fundamental theory of strong interactions, understanding the dynamics of quarks and gluons, and applying advanced mathematical techniques to solve complex equations. This journey requires a deep understanding of quantum mechanics, field theory, and high-energy physics, as well as extensive research and experimentation. Despite the difficulties, the pursuit of QCD theory offers valuable insights into the nature of matter and the universe, making it a rewarding and exciting path for those passionate about theoretical physics.

Hi all, my name’s Gary, and I’m a PhD student at the CUNY graduate center, trying to do my dissertation on QCD theory (color glass condensate). Have been browsing here a bit over the years, and got around to making an account today!
