I modified an existing course Physics 215, Computational Mehtods in Physics to include a high-performance computing (HPC) component and take advantage of the advanced computing cluster donated by Martha Carpenter. This new component of the course involved a large investment of time to order and install the cluster (in the Milhiser Computer Center), develop the tools so students could use the cluster remotely from the Physics Department, write new computational laboraties (three) that introduce the physics and technical aspects of using the linux operating system and the cluster tools, and adapt the physics topics of the course to ones appropriate for HPC.
I worked with several of our physics (Musalo and Carbonneau) students during the last year to prepare them for presentations (see highlights) and to counsel them on their future plans.
I am the leader of an experiment (with an A- rating) to extend these measurements more deeply into the interior of the neutron. We have been developing simulations and predictions to prepare for the experiment. It is part of the scientific program of the 12 GeV Upgrade at Jefferson Lab which will expand the physics opportunities there. The 12-GeV Upgrade is now the highest priority project in nuclear physics in the United States. We are developing software for the simulation, reconstruction, and analysis of CLAS12 data. A Momorandum of Understanding between Jefferson Lab and the University was signed in spring, 2012.
