3 Central Role in Physics Department High Energy Theory ATLAS DØ ILC Neutrinos MINOS, Daya Bay VLBL g μ -2 EDM Nuclear Theory D. Kharzeev et al. RIKEN/BNL Research Center Lattice Gauge Theory F. Karsch et al. Finite Temp. RHIC Polarized PP Unique Environment 2. Research Activities

4 Diverse Research Program Lattice Gauge Theories: Formalism and Phenomenology: M. Creutz, A. Soni (RBRC) LHC Collider Physics: W. Kilgore, F. Paige, (S. Dawson), C. Jackson, T. Krupovnickas B Physics: A. Soni, D. Suprun Perturbative QCD: W. Kilgore, (S. Dawson) Polarized Protons (QCD at RHIC): T.L. Trueman Electroweak Physics (Precision, Rare, Low Energy, Neutrinos): W. Marciano, T. Krupovnickas

Some Recent Results Precision Test of CKM Unitarity (Marciano and Sirlin, PRL 96, 032002 [2006]) |V ud | 2 +|V us | 2 +|V ub | 2 =1 10 -5 Superallowed Nuclear Beta Decays (0 + 0 + ) Electroweak Radiative Corrections ~4% Uncertainties? Was: V ud = 0.9736(2)(4) RC Now: V ud = 0.97377(11)(15)(19) RC New Ingredients: Bjorken Sum Rule Analogy Large N QCD (Resonances)
