The aim of the symposium is to summarize the HPCI Strategic Program “The Origin of Matter and the Universe” (2011-2015).
http://www.jicfus.jp/field5/en/
This is a joint program of computational particle/nuclear/astro physics. By using 10 PFlops K-computer, and will be continued further in a different scheme even beyond 2015. At this symposium, we will discuss the current topics in particle physics, nuclear physics and astrophysics from the point of view of large scale numerical simulations.

The major topics will include

  • hadron physics from lattice QCD
  • nuclear physics from lattice QCD
  • high precision quantum few-body calculations
  • large scale simulations of nuclear many-body problems
  • supernova simulations
  • compact star mergers
  • formation of black holes and gravitational waves
  • algorithms for computational physics
  • etc.
