This seminar explores the dynamics of QCD and confinement effects through the lens of supersymmetric theories. Join Cornell University's Csaba Csaki as he demonstrates how starting with supersymmetric versions of QCD and gradually breaking supersymmetry via anomaly mediation can illuminate challenging questions in standard model physics. Learn how these QCD-like theories reveal insights about the eta' potential, theta dependence, and the phase structure of spontaneous CP breaking at theta = Pi. Discover how the chiral Lagrangian can be derived in this framework and understand the surprising finding that dynamically generated up quark mass could potentially account for the entire up mass. This 81-minute presentation offers theoretical physicists and advanced students a novel approach to understanding quantum chromodynamics through its supersymmetric cousins.
