Boltzmann equation simulation for a trapped Fermi gas of atoms
The dynamics of an interacting Fermi gas of atoms at sufficiently high
temperatures can be efficiently studied via a numerical simulation of the
Boltzmann equation. In this work we describe in detail the setup we used
recently to study the oscillations of two spin-polarised fermionic clouds in a
trap. We focus here on the evaluation of interparticle interactions. We compare
different ways of choosing the phase space coordinates of a pair of atoms after
a successful collision and demonstrate that the exact microscopic setup has no
influence on the macroscopic outcome
Towards a new determination of the QCD Lambda parameter from running couplings in the three-flavour theory
We review our new strategy and current status towards a high precision
computation of the Lambda parameter from three-flavour simulations in QCD. To
reach this goal we combine specific advantages of the Schr\"odinger functional
and gradient flow couplings.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures; Proceedings of the 32nd International Symposium

Observing Long Colour Flux Tubes in SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory
We present results of a high statistics study of the chromo field
distribution between static quarks in SU(2) gauge theory on lattices of volumes
16^4, 32^4, and 48^3*64, with physical extent ranging from 1.3 fm up to 2.7 fm
at beta=2.5, beta=2.635, and beta=2.74. We establish string formation over
physical distances as large as 2 fm. The results are tested against Michael's
sum rules. A detailed investigation of the transverse action and energy flux
tube profiles is provided. As a by-product, we obtain the static lattice
potential in unpreceded accuracy.Comment: 66 pages, 29 figures, uuencoded latex file with epsfigures (450 K),

The strong coupling from a nonperturbative determination of the parameter in three-flavor QCD
We present a lattice determination of the parameter in three-flavor
QCD and the strong coupling at the Z pole mass. Computing the nonperturbative
running of the coupling in the range from GeV to GeV, and using
experimental input values for the masses and decay constants of the pion and
the kaon, we obtain MeV. The
nonperturbative running up to very high energies guarantees that systematic
effects associated with perturbation theory are well under control. Using the
four-loop prediction for yields
.Comment: Correction in the comparison to the LHC value for alpha(1.5TeV) which
was given by CMS in the 5-flavor theory. The agreement is improved. Also 1

The -parameter in 3-flavour QCD and by the ALPHA collaboration
We present results by the ALPHA collaboration for the -parameter in
3-flavour QCD and the strong coupling constant at the electroweak scale,
, in terms of hadronic quantities computed on the CLS gauge
configurations. The first part of this proceedings contribution contains a
review of published material \cite{Brida:2016flw,DallaBrida:2016kgh} and yields
the -parameter in units of a low energy scale, . We
then discuss how to determine this scale in physical units from experimental
data for the pion and kaon decay constants. We obtain MeV which translates to
using perturbation theory to match between 3-, 4- and 5-flavour QCD.Comment: 21 pages. Collects contributions of A. Ramos, S. Sint and R. Sommer
