Investigation of proton-rich nuclei using novel techniques (MARAgas)

Start date: Feb 1, 2015, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

Proton rich nuclei with N≈Z and masses close to A=100 are excellent for the investication of neutron-proton interactions and neutron-proton pairing and may provide insight to some of the most interesting and exciting topics in nuclear physics. Heavy N≈Z nuclei are also of astrophysical interest mainly in the study of the rapid proton capture (rp) process. From the viewpoint of fundamental physics ...

Simulation framework for multi-scale phenomena in micro- and nanosystems (SimPhoNy)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Accurate design and modeling of nano-enabled systems requires a multi-scale simulation approach that can link phenomena on the nano-, micro-, meso-, and macroscales. Numerous simulation methods and tools are available for describing a material accurately and efficiently on each of the scales separately. In addition, several approaches for linking and coupling various hierarchal scales are also ava ...

Shape Coexistence and Collectivity in Atomic Nuclei (SPEDE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

"In the atomic nucleus, the interplay between single-particle motion, collectivity and pairing is seen as a rich tapestry of coexisting nuclear shapes and exotic excitations. For verifying and more detailed understanding of the shape coexistence phenomenon it is important to measure transition probabilities between the coexisting nuclear states.In the endeavour to understand the nuclear structure ...

Mesoscopic heattronics: thermal and nonequilibrium effects and fluctuations in nanoelectronics (Heattronics)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Few systems in nature are entirely in equilibrium. Out of equilibrium, there are heat currents, and different degrees of freedom or parts of studied systems may be described by entirely different temperatures if the concept of temperature is at all well defined. In this project we will study the emergence of the subsystem temperatures in different types of small electronic systems, and the physica ...

Collaborative Research into Exascale Systemware, Tools and Applications (CRESTA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

For the past thirty years, the need for ever greater supercomputer performance has driven the development of many computing technologies which have subsequently been exploited in the mass market. Delivering an exaflop (or 10^18 calculations per second) by the end of this decade is the challenge that the supercomputing community worldwide has set itself. The Collaborative Research into Exascale Sys ...
