Hello, A yearly allocation for the LCRC cluster has been requested with the following updated information: Submitter/PI: Tsung-Shung Lee Project Name: anl-dcc Division: PHY Project title: Dynamical coupled-channel analysis of hadrons at Argonne Associated funding: DOE Other Systems: NERSC Science: This project will develop theoretical approaches for studying the spectrum and structure of excited nucleons states, and hybird and exotic mesons within the fundamental theory of strong interaction; Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The results will provide information for advancing our understanding of strong interactions and structure of visible matter in universe. This is part of ANL's effort to achieve a DOE milestone HP7 by 2013. The constructed hadron reaction models will then be used to investigate the meson-nucleus bound states due to the color field of QCD. The predicted cross sections will guide the experiments to be performed by Argonne medium energy group at Jefferson Laboratory in 2014. Project description: The project will develop hadron reaction models by performing calculations to fit the world data of meson production reactions on the nucleon. The computations involve solving a large set of coupled-channel integral equations and searching for parameters of the models by chi-square minimization using MINUIT. The calculations account for eight meson-baryon channels and five meson-meson channels. Large complex-matrix (1000 by 1000) need to be inverted many times in chi**2-fit to very extensive data (about 100,000 data points) . Standard fortran codes have been developed to perform parallel computation with Fusion. The codes have been well tested and have performed very well at Fusion and NERSC in the past two years . The project will have 5 members Project URL: Current FY Hours Used: undetermined amount New FY Requested allocation: 490000 Q1: 70000 Q2: 150000 Q3: 150000 Q4: 120000 Justification: Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System
