About
LaVA (the Lattice Virtual Academy) is a virtual platform for advanced e-learning in Lattice Field Theory, a computational method developed for nuclear and particle physics. LaVA provides open-access, inclusive training to beginner and advanced students. It also serves as a reference hub for scientists working in other fields, who wish to become acquainted with some of the aspects of this rich subject.

LaVA has been conceived in the framework of the NA6 network activity of the STRONG-2020 project, with a launching event held at ECT* and subsequent support from ECT* and Fondazione Bruno Kessler.

Lattice Field Theory with LaVA
Lattice Field Theory with LaVA
Lattice field theory is a computational framework for making first-principles predictions about strongly interacting matter, such as the quarks and gluons bound inside the nucleon. As the subject has matured, it is now embedded and widely used in theoretical efforts to make predictions from quantum field theories related to hadron structure and spectroscopy, precision physics of the standard model, and studying matter in the extremes of temperature and density such as those in the early universe.

LaVA aims to produce and collect permanent versions of lectures of these, and related, topics, for the benefit of the nuclear physics community.

LaVA has been conceived by the Core Group of the network activity NA6 of the STRONG-2020 project: Gunnar Bali, Luigi Del Debbio, Gregorio Herdoiza, Maria Paola Lombardo, and Michael J. Peardon (chair). The launching event, organised by Claudio Bonanno (chair) with MPL and MJP was held at the ECT* in February 2023. The initial development has been made possible also thanks to the support of FBK and ECT*, and of the INFN communication office. Photos have been kindly donated by Giancarlo Tine'. STRONG-2020 expired in July 2024, and since November 2024 LaVA is accessible from the ECT* site.

The support of ECT* Directors Gert Aarts and Ubirajara van Kolck has been crucial and it is gratefully acknowledged.
