Supercomputing the tomography of the proton

该项目旨在通过先进的超级计算机模拟，从理论上确定质子的夸克和胶子分布。该项目将通过开发过去不可能实现的图像结构创新方法，在基础强相互作用物理学领域产生新知识。该项目预计将扩大国际社会研究强相互作用物理的能力，包括与最近升级的美国杰斐逊实验室的实验研究直接相关。与卢瑟福的原子模型相类比，其结果将有利于未来人类对物质结构的更深入理解。

This project aims to produce theoretical determinations of the quark and gluon distributions of the proton through advanced supercomputer simulations. The project will generate new knowledge in the area of fundamental strong-interaction physics by developing innovative approaches to image structures that have not been possible in the past. This project expects to expand the capacity of the international community to study strong interaction physics, including direct relevance to experimental research at the recently-upgraded Jefferson Lab in the US. In analogy to Rutherford's atomic model, the results will have benefit to future generations of humanity with a deeper understanding of the structure of matter.
