Lattice Gauge Theory...
at Brookhaven National Laboratory

Physicists from Columbia University and Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) plan to build a supercomputer capable of 10 trillion arithmetic operations per second (10 Teraflops) for explorations of sub-atomic particles. The project will proceed with $5 million in funding from RIKEN (The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research) of Japan, a leader in the promotion of international research collaboration.Shown here are four three-dimensional slices of the topological charge density of a lattice QCD gauge configuration with red indicating high values of the topological charge.

The computer will be installed at the RIKEN BNL Research Center (RBRC), located at the Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, N.Y. T.D. Lee, the Nobel Prize winning theoretical physicist and Columbia University Professor, is RBRC's director.

To be completed in 2004 the supercomputer will be used by physicists at the RIKEN Brookhaven facility and the Columbia Physics Department for investigations of quarks and gluons, the subatomic particles from which the atomic nucleus is constructed. RIKEN's involvement in the project is a part of its broader support for basic elementary particle research, especially pertaining to nuclei and spin. RIKEN carries out a large accelerator-based research program in Japan and plays a significant role in the promotion of international research and collaboration. more

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
