Sub-domains and Contact People
For practical purposes, group activities are divided into six subdomains: cosmic calculations, accelerator modeling, beam and detector simulation, physics generators, perturbative calculations, and lattice QCD. During the first CompF2, volunteers were identify to serve as contact people for each sub-domain. These volunteers are responsible for the self-organization of each sub-domain and for establishing a process to contribute a section of the CompF2 report.

Way of Participation
CompF2 conveners and sub-domain contact people can be reached via email (see above). CompF2 meets on Fridays 1-3 pm (Pacific), 2-4 pm (Central), 3-5 (Easter) upon necessity. Communication on meetings, deadlines, group activity is done via email. Please subscribe to: [email protected] (https://snowmass21.org/lib/images/toolbar/link.png)
Description
- Remark: Reason to separate “experimental algorithm parallelization” from “theoretical calculations and simulations”
- See explanation above in the “Experimental Algorithm Parallelization” working group
- Functional areas
- Theoretical calculations (high-order perturbative calculations and lattice field theory)
- Detector simulations (Geant, … )
- Particle accelerator modelings (https://snowmass-compf2-accbeammodel.github.io/)
- Event generators
- Cosmic frontier simulations
- Utilization of CPU, accelerator hardware and what comes next in 5-10 years
- Mandate
- Describe theoretical calculations, detector simulations, accelerator modelings, event generators that are or will be used by the stakeholders
- What are the processing resource needed to execute theoretical calculations and simulations
- What is the technology evolution of processing resources?
- Coordinate with theoretical calculations and simulations working group
- How will stakeholders be able to design and write physics algorithms for these processing resources?
- Coordinate with theoretical calculations and simulations working group
- How can coding standards and performance standards be used?
- Coordinate with theoretical calculations and simulations working group, and Collaboration and Ecosystem working group
- How are the solutions used by the community embedded derived from solutions from industry/other science domains
- Connections with ML (accelerating calculations, more efficient phase space sampling, lattice QCD, …)
