Hello, A yearly allocation for the LCRC cluster has been requested with the following updated information: Submitter/PI: Jiajun Wu Project Name: HNR Division: PHY Project title: Hadron and Nuclear Reaction Associated funding: The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics Division, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357 Other Systems: Science: This project has two parts. In the first part we will study the formation of J/psi-Nucleus bound states in the photon-nucleus and pion-nucleus reactions near the J/psi production threshold. The J/psi-Nucleus bound states are predicted within the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). However, it has not been observed so far. These states are directly related to the role of gluon field in the nucleon and nuclei. The clear experimental identifications of J/psi-Nucleus bound states will help us to understand QCD in non-perturbative region. Our goal is to make predictions to facilitate the experimental search of such bound states with hidden charms at JLab with 12 GeV upgrade and the new hadron facility J-PARC in Japan. The second part of this project is to study the three-body final-state interactions on the three-meson decays of heavy and exotic mesons. We will make predictions for analyzing the data of such decay processes from BES, KEK, and JLab. The determinations of the properties of heavy and exotic mesons from the three-meson decay data will provide important information to understand the confinement in QCD. Project description: In both studies, we need to solve coupled-channel scattering equations by inverting a very large (about 200*200) complex matrix, and to perform multi-dimensional integrations. Such calculations need to be repeated many times in performing the chi-sqaure fit the experimental data.
