This division aims at elucidating the generation of matter and the formation of astronomical objects in the universe comprehensively through ab initio large-scale numerical simulations. In particular, as the basis of understanding the matter generation and astronomical object formation, the following four themes are placed at the center of exploration with the next-generation supercomputer “K computer”.
(1) Lattice QCD
(2) Quantum Many-Body
(3) Supernova Explosion and Blackhole
(4) First Generation Objects
In the theme (1), the nuclear force as well as hyperon force, which is indispensable for understanding the nuclear structure, is explored with lattice QCD simulations. This provides the fundamental theory for investigating the unstable nuclei, hyperons, and structure of neutron stars. The elucidation of nuclear structure based on the ab initio analyses brings great advances in understanding the supernova explosions and production of black holes after the gravitational collapse of massive stars. Such exploration allows us to resolve, based on the fundamental theory, the formation and evolution of astronomical objects, where stars form and die with supernova explosions.
