High energy physics from high performance computing

High energy physics from high performance computing

We discuss Quantum Chromodynamics calculations using the lattice regulator. The theory of the strong force is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics. We present USQCD collaboration results obtained on Argonne National Lab’s Intrepid supercomputer that deepen our understanding of these fundamental theories of Nature and provide critical support to frontier particle physics exper...

Grid Computing in High Energy Physics Experiments

The High Energy Physics (HEP) [1] – often called Particle Physics – is one of the research areas where the accomplishment of scientific results is inconceivable without the infrastructure for distributed computing, the Computing Grid. The HEP is a branch of Physics that studies properties of elementary subatomic constituents of matter. It goes beyond protons and neutrons to study particles whic...

Distributed Computing and Databases for High Energy Physics

We are proposing to develop a fault-tolerant distributed computing and database system for use in High Energy Physics, but applicable to other disciplines. This system will allow us to solve the challenging problem of data processing, analysis and simulation by exploiting developments in distributed systems, fault tolerance, high performance networks and database technology. We will extend the ...

High-Energy Physics

High Energy Physics,horizons*

The previous sessions have borne witness to the fact &at high energy accelerator and storage ring technology is a.subject of continuing vitality. Nothing dramatizes this more convincingly than the chart (Fig. 1) which shows the growth in energy of the world’s accelerators in time. If one includes in this chart the equivalent laboratory energy of existing and projected colliding beam storage rin...
