Hello, A new project on the LCRC cluster has been requested. Please forward the information on to the LCRC Allocation sub-committee. Applicant's name: Jun Gao Applicant's institution: ANL Applicant's division: HEP Project Name: MCLHC Project title: Monte Carlo simulation with high-order QCD effects for LHC application Associated funding: DOE, DE-AC02-06CH11357 Other Systems: None Science: The project is aiming at providing precision theoretical predictions for standard candle processes at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The core part of the project is to calculate high-order QCD (NNLO and beyond) corrections for processes involving top quark or jets utilizing large scale Monte Carlo simulation. Project description: computational methods: MC simulation programming model: SM of particle physics, pQCD experiments planned: CMS and ATLAS software requirements: GNU Fortran sizes of calculations: parallel job on 16 cores expected number of project members: 1 Industry partnership: Project URL: Requested allocation: 480000 Q1: 0 Q2: 300000 Q3: 100000 Q4: 80000 Justification: Storage requirements: 1TB The requester has used undetermined amount hours of their initial startup project. In addition to approving an initial amount, please specify a Category and Subcategory for this project. For a list of the current selection of approved categories, please see: https://wiki.lcrc.anl.gov/wiki/Processes/Categories Once the Allocation committee has approved the project, please go to the Project Management page to create it: https://accounts.lcrc.anl.gov/projects.php Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System
