Research spurs innovations in computing technology that drive advances to supercomputers
An
international collaboration of scientists has reported a landmark
calculation of the decay process of a kaon into two pions, using
breakthrough techniques on some of the world’s fastest supercomputers.
This is the same subatomic particle decay explored in a 1964 Nobel Prize-winning experimentperformed
at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory
(BNL), which revealed the first experimental evidence of charge-parity
(CP) violation — a lack of symmetry between particles and their
corresponding antiparticles that may hold the answer to the question
“Why are we made of matter and not antimatter?” ... 続きを読む
