Muons – a Magnetic Mystery

Jülich, 7 April 2021 – For around 20 years, there has been a discrepancy between the theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of the muon magnetic field, indicating a possible error in our current physical understanding. A new calculation method with unprecedented precision has now taken the theoretical prediction closer to the previous experimental value. For the most part, the work involving scientists from Forschungszentrum Jülich was conducted using Jülich’s supercomputers. The research findings have now been published in the renowned journal Nature. They are particularly relevant, since the first results of a new US experiment aiming to determine the muon magnetic field with greater precision will be announced on 7 April.

Arm and Forschungszentrum Jülich sign multi-year collaboration agreement

Jülich, 18 May 2021 – Arm and the Forschungszentrum Jülich signed today a multi-year cooperation agreement. Its goal is to strengthen their joint effort in identifying the requirements of High Performance Computing (HPC) applications and advancing their porting and optimization on Arm-based architectures. The joint team carries on performance analysis and code engineering, taking advantage of specific features of Arm-based hardware to further advance application performance. The code requirements identified in this effort will help in the design of future HPC technologies and systems.
