2013 USQCD All-Hands Collaboration Meeting

19 Apr 2013, 08:30 → 20 Apr 2013, 13:00 US/Eastern

Large Seminar Room (Physics Building)

 

USQCD is a collaboration of US scientists developing and using large-scale computers for calculations in lattice quantum chromodynamics.  Lattice QCD calculations allow us to understand the results of particle and nuclear physics experiments in terms of QCD, the theory of quarks and gluons.

Those interested in joining the collaboration should contact Paul Mackenzie at mackenzie@fnal.gov.

Local Organizing Committee

• Frithjof Karsch (BNL)
• Peter Petreczky (BNL)
• Taku Izubuchi (BNL)

New USQCD SciDAC Programs

• Computing Properties of Hadrons, Nuclei and Nuclear Matter from Quantum Chromodynamics
• Searching for Physics Beyond the Standard Model: Strongly-Coupled Field Theories at the Intensity and Energy Frontiers

Collaborating LQCD Facilities

• Fermilab LQCD Facility
• JLab LQCD Facility

Special Evening Event

Registered attendees and their guests are invited to attend the optional banquet dinner after the meeting on Friday, April 19, 2013 6:30-8:30 PM at Berkner Hall.  The fee for the banquet will have a nominal cost of US $25/pp and will be collected at check-in. This does not include drinks (cash bar).
