Good News
- UNEDF project on rare-earth nuclear excitations awarded 10 million processor hours
- UNEDF members Jonathan Engel and Jun Terasaki of the University of North Carolina have been awarded 10M cpu hours on the ORNL supercomputer Kraken for the project Systematics of Nuclear Surface Vibrations in Deformed Nuclei. The award is from the NSF-funded TeraGrid program, which provides leadership class resources at eleven partner sites for open scientific discovery.
- UNEDF F-17 halo work featured in Science Daily
- Ab initio coupled-cluster calculations of Fluorine-17 by UNEDF-members Gaute Hagen and Thomas Papenbrock of Oak Ridge National Lab and the University of Tennessee, together with Morten Hjorth-Jensen of the University of Oslo, pin down details of the proton-halo state.
- UNEDF sub-project featured in SciDAC Review
- Rusty Lusk and Steve Pieper describe the Asynchronous Dynamic Load Balancing (ADLB) library for high-performance computing and its application to Green's Function Monte Carlo (GFMC) calculations of nuclei.
- UNEDF collaborators Steve Pieper and Bob Wiringa awarded APS Bonner Prize
- The Tom W. Bonner Prize is the highest award for research given by the APS Division of Nuclear Physics. Full details on the award to Steve and Bob are available.
- DOE awards 40 million processor hours for computational nuclear structure
