Investigations in High Energy Physics

将开展以对强核力进行定量研究为重点的研究。用量子色动力学，即强力理论来研究基本粒子之间的强力，对于解释使用高能加速器的实验结果，以及检验量子色动力学作为基本粒子“标准模型”的中心组成部分的有效性是至关重要的。这项计划中的研究将通过离散的点阵逼近空间，并广泛使用计算机，还将有助于实现国家的重要目标，即扩大大规模并行超级计算机的能力，并建立一批熟练掌握计算物理技术的数学物理学家。

Research focussed on quantitative investigations of the strong nuclear forces will be performed. The study of the strong forces among elementary particles using quantum chromodynamics, the theory of the strong force, is of critical importance in interpreting the results of experiments using high energy accelerators and in testing the validity of quantum chromodynamics as a central component of the "Standard Model" of elementary particles. The planned research, which will approximate space by a discrete lattice of points and use computers extensively, will also contribute to the important national goal of extending the capabilities of massively parallel supercomputers and of building a pool of mathematical physicists skilled in state of the art of computational physics.
