Concluding remarks Very sad but his achievements will remain Take over Kodaira’s spirit for the research in high-energy physics and pass it to the younger generations Efforts should be taken toward precisions of QCD as well as Electro-weak physics Promote the international collaborations as Jiro Kodaira had tried to establish
Conclusion QCD is a Theory of Strong Interaction From Jiro’s Slide in Aug06 Conclusion QCD is a Theory of Strong Interaction Non-abelin Gauge Theory One of the “most” beautiful The. in 20th Century Forced to solve (at least) two problems now 1. do calculation for practical purpose (LHC, ILC, …) 2. reveal dynamics of gauge theory using the simplest but the most difficult one namely QCD
