Carnegie Mellon University's Office of Sponsored Programs received a $197,136 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) for the period September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2029. This collaborative research project develops and distributes optimized software for executing lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD) calculations on graphics processing unit (GPU)-accelerated supercomputer architectures. The software enables Monte Carlo-based computational physics research focused on nucleon interactions and hadron-hadron scattering, with particular emphasis on calculating baryon form factors and meson-baryon interactions essential to interpreting results from accelerator-based neutrino experiments such as the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). The project builds upon previous NSF-funded work by focusing on evaluation of correlation functions involving meson and baryon sources and sinks, with specialized attention to optimizing tensor contractions required in these computationally intensive calculations. The deliverables include highly optimized LQCD software tools for execution on modern GPU-accelerated computing environments, enabling the nuclear physics research community to conduct fundamental calculations regarding nucleon structure and interactions with other particles including electrons, muons, and mesons. This computational infrastructure supports both theoretical advances in nuclear physics and practical applications in neutrino physics experimentation.Federal Grant Award Summary
