  2. Supernova E0102-72.3 “Given a lump of nuclear material, what are its properties, and how does it interact?” • How do we describe nuclei we cannot measure? • Robust, predictive nuclear theory exists for structure and reactions. • Nuclear data needed to constrain theory. • Goal is the Hamiltonian and nuclear properties: – Bare intra-nucleon Hamiltonian. – Energy density functional. • Mission relevant to NP, NNSA. • Half of all elements heavier than iron produced in r-process where limited (or no) experimental information exits. • Nuclear reaction information relevant to NNSA and AFCI.

  3. Pushing the nuclear boundaries Thermal properties regions Nuclear DFT effort • The Leadership Computing Facility effort will • Enlarge ab-initio square to mass 100 • Enable initial global DFT calculations with restored symmetries Nuclear Coupled Cluster effort All Regions: Nuclear cross-section efforts (NNSA, SC/NP, Nuclear Energy)

  4. Nuclear interactions: Cornerstone of the entire theoretical edifice Depends on spin, angular momentum, and nucleon(proton and neutron) quantum numbers. Complicated interactions Real three-body interactionsderived from QCD-basedeffective theories Solved up to mass 12 with GFMC, converged mass 8 with diagonalization. We want to go much further!    Method of Solution: Nuclear Coupled-Cluster Theory

  13. Future direction • Current algorithm scales to 1K processors with about 20% efficiency. Attacking problems in mass 40 region is doable with current code. • Develop algorithm that spreads both the 2-body matrix elements and the CC amplitudes (in collaboration with Ken Roche)  Enables nuclei in the mass 100 region and should scale to 100K processors (under way). • Designing further parallel algorithms that calculate nuclear properties to calculate densities and electromagnetic transition amplitudes. • Eventual time-dependent CC for fission dynamics.
