Argonne receives funding to use AI and machine learning for nuclear physics research
Three Argonne projects will receive funding to use AI and machine learning for nuclear physics accelerators and detectors.
Computers Help Scientists Understand the Particles that Make Up Atoms
To reduce the need for computer power, researchers typically simulate how quarks combine to make up larger particles by simulating quarks heavier than quarks found in nature. Now, using the Summit supercomputer, a team simulated much lighter quarks than possible in the past. This produced more realistic results that will help scientists investigate the Higgs boson.
Department of Energy Announces $3.5 Million for U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research in High Energy Physics
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $3.5 million for 23 collaborative research projects in high energy physics that involve substantial collaboration with Japanese investigators.
Ultra-high energy events key to study of ghost particles
Physicists at Washington University in St. Louis have proposed a way to use data from ultra-high energy neutrinos to study interactions beyond the standard model of particle physics. The ‘Zee burst’ model leverages new data from large neutrino telescopes such as the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica and its future extensions.
Galactic gamma-ray sources reveal birthplaces of high-energy particles
Nine sources of extremely high-energy gamma rays comprise a new catalog compiled by researchers with the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Gamma-Ray Observatory.
