SciDAC-3: Searching for Physics Beyond the Standard Model, University of Arizona component, Year 2 progress report
- Univ. of Arizona, Tucson, AZ (United States)
The Arizona component of the SciDAC-3 Lattice Gauge Theory program consisted of partial support for a postdoctoral position. In the original budget this covered three fourths of a postdoc, but the University of Arizona changed its ERE rate for postdoctoral positions from 4.3% to 21%, so the support level was closer to two-thirds of a postdoc. The grant covered the work of postdoc Thomas Primer. Dr. Primer's first task was an urgent one, although it was not forseen in our proposed work. It turned out that on the large lattices used in some of our current computations the gauge fixing code was not working as expected, and this revealed itself in inconsistent results in the correlators needed to compute the semileptonic form factors for K and D decays. Dr. Primer participated in the effort to understand this problem and to modify our codes to deal with the large lattices we are now generating (as large as 1443 x 288). Corrected code was incorporated in our standard codes, and workarounds that allow us to use the correlators already computed with the unexpected gauge fixing were been implemented.
