The 34th annual “International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory” will bring together a global community of researchers from theoretical particle physics and quantum field theory, who employ theoretical, numerical and computational methods to study the properties of strongly interacting physical systems – above all Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory which describes the interactions of quarks and gluons and how they bind together to form the particles we see in experiments. The Symposium is returning to the UK for the first time since 1997, when it took place in Edinburgh, and has never before been held in England.
LATTICE 2015
LATTICE 2015 14 -18 July 2015 Kobe International Conference Center, Kobe, Japan

The 33rd International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory (Lattice 2015) was held from July 14 to July 18, 2015 in Kobe Convention Center, Kobe, Japan. The annual lattice conferences in this series are most important for a community of theoretical and computational physics who have common interest in quantum field theories on the lattice. The scientific program contained 18 plenary session talks and 331 parallel session contributions including talks and posters. The conference topics included: algorithms and machines, applications beyond QCD, chiral symmetry, hadron spectroscopy and interactions, hadron structure, nonzero temperature and density, physics beyond the standard model, standard model parameters and renormalization, theoretical developments, vacuum structure and confinement, and weak decays and matrix elements. Over 376 participants attended the conference from 26 countries and regions in the world to exchange ideas and share new developments in the field.

We would like to thank the members of International Advisory Committee for their help in organizing the fruitful scientific program. Many thanks also go to all the speakers for making the conference successful. We also acknowledge financial support from Cray Inc., Fujitsu Limited, Hitachi, Ltd., NVIDIA Corporation, Kobe Convention and Visitors Association, and Tsutomu Nakauchi Foundation.

LATTICE2014
LATTICE2014 23-28 June, 2014 Columbia University New York, NY

Lattice 2014, the 32nd International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory, was held from June 23-28, 2014 on the campus of Columbia University in the City of New York and jointly organized by Brookhaven National Laboratory and Columbia University. Over 415 participants from around the world were in attendance and the plenary program was streamed out via Livestream. Parallel sessions were held in various academic buildings on campus, including Pupin Hall, the home of the Columbia Physics Department and the location of many seminal events in the history of physics.

These annual lattice conferences bring together a diverse community of theoretical physicists all bound by a common interest in a deeper and more quantitative understanding of quantum field theories and the phenomena they predict. Attendees use the largest available computers, and substantial amounts of time on these machines, to produce predictions from well established theories, like Quantum Chromodynamics, while also regularly improving our basic theoretical and numerical tools for analyzing a wide spectrum of quantum field theories. Predictions from Quantum Chromodynamics are vital for precision tests of the Standard Model of Particle Physics and for understanding the phenomena seen at primarily Quantum Chromodynamics oriented experiments, such as at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory. There is also considerable focus on studying a wide variety of quantum field theories which currently have no direct experimental utility, but which may play a role in physics beyond the Standard Model.

The annual lattice conferences in this series are the most important vehicle for theorists in this field to exchange ideas and stay abreast of the rapid developments worldwide. In addition, nearly one fourth of the attendees were students, for whom the conference offers a detailed overview of the field. The presence of so many younger researchers testifies to the dynamism of the science being studied.

We would like to thank the members of the International Advisory Committee for their help in organizing the scientific program for this conference. We also acknowledge support from Brookhaven National Laboratory, Columbia University, Koi Computer, The RIKEN-BNL Research Center, Brookhaven Science Associates and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Finally, we thank the attendees for making the trip to New York City to share their ideas and results with this international community.

LATTICE 2013
LATTICE 2013 29 July – 3 August, 2013 Mainz, Germany

The annual lattice symposium brings together a global community of researchers from theoretical particle physics and beyond, who employ numerical and computational methods to study the properties of strongly interacting physical systems, above all Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory describing the interactions of quarks and gluons. Topics include studies of the spectrum and structure of hadrons, lattice studies of matter under extreme conditions, hadronic contributions to weak decay amplitudes, as well as recent developments in simulation algorithms and computer hardware. The 2013 conference in Mainz was attended by over 500 participants from all over the globe, making it the biggest in this series so far.

This proceedings volume is dedicated to the memory of Nobel Laureate Kenneth G. Wilson (June 8, 1936 - June 15, 2013).

More than 285 participants from around the world attended the symposium. The scientific program contained 22 plenary talks and 248 parallel contributions including posters. Most of these are recorded in this proceedings.

For 30 years, the Lattice meeting has provided researchers from around the world with an annual forum at which to disseminate and discuss ideas, developments and opportunities in the study of relativistic quantum fields regulated on a spacetime lattice. It fosters the exchange of ideas, networking, and builds relationships between researchers that are essential in facilitating rapid progress and the creation of new knowledge.

The program included plenary talks, parallel talks and poster presentations on Algorithms and machines, Applications beyond QCD, Chiral symmetry, Hadron spectroscopy and interactions, Hadron structure, Nonzero temperature and density, Standard model parameters and renormalization, Theoretical developments, Vacuum structure and confinement and Weak decays and matrix elements.

The International Advisory Committee provided excellent guidance in planning the scientific program of the conference and we thank the Committee for their important contributions. Thanks also to our presenters for the time and effort they put into preparing their talks and their proceedings.

Lattice 2011
Lattice 2011 July 10 – 16 2011 Squaw Valley, Lake Tahoe, California

For nearly 30 years, the LATTICE meeting has provided researchers from around the world with an annual forum at which to discuss a wide variety of aspects generally concerning the study of relativistic quantum fields regulated on a spacetime lattice. While very important to the theoretical understanding of quantum fields in its own right, the lattice formulation also makes possible the study of gauged and other quantum field theories by computers. Thus computational simulations of quantum field theories (QFT) provides a rich arena for the advancement of theoretical physics.

The mission of the LATTICE meeting is:

  • To provide an annual forum for the dissemination of the latest results from QFT researchers around the world.
  • To foster the exchange of ideas, networking, and build relationships between researchers in the field of lattice QFT.
  • To encourage new research projects in QFT.
  • To make researchers aware of new tools, developments, and opportunities in the field.
