"Banks-Zaks fixed point" meaning in All languages combined

See Banks-Zaks fixed point on Wiktionary

Noun [English]

Forms: Banks-Zaks fixed points [plural]
Etymology: First reported by William E. Caswell in 1974, and later used by Banks and Zaks in their analysis of the phase structure of vector-like gauge theories with massless fermions. Head templates: {{en-noun|head=Banks-Zaks fixed point}} Banks-Zaks fixed point (plural Banks-Zaks fixed points)
  1. (quantum chromodynamics) In quantum chromodynamics with massless flavours, where the number of flavours is sufficiently small (i.e. small enough to guarantee asymptotic freedom, depending on the number of colours), an interacting conformal fixed point of the renormalization group where the value of the coupling is less than one (i.e. one can perform perturbation theory in weak coupling).
