The Secret Life of Quarks: National Computational Infrastructure for Lattice Gauge Theory
Robert Sugar · OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information) · 2013
The objective of this grant was to develop algorithms and software for the numerical study of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and of quantum field theories of interest for the understanding of physical phenomena that go beyond the standard model of high energy physics. Thirteen institutions were involved in this effort. The roles of the University of California, Santa Barbara in the project were to supply overall leadership and coordination, and to administer travel funds for participants at institutions that did not receive direct funding from the DOE. The purposes of these trips were to enable collaborative research on algorithms and software, and to report on algorithm and software development, and on scientific results obtained from it, at scientific meetings. These funds were also used to support travel by the Santa Barbara Principal Investigator in support of the project, and by co-Principal Investigators at institutions not receiving DOE funding. A total of 126 trips were supported.
