Lattice Gauge Theory group
We are the lattice gauge theory group at the Eotvos University
in Budapest, part of the Department of Theoretical Physics at the
Faculty of Science. Since 2011 we are an NVIDIA GPU Research Center.
Currently there are nine members and we are seeking new ones. Positions are available for PhD students and postdocs for 2 - 4 years appointments. If you are interested please email Sandor Katz at katz {at} bodri {dot} elte {dot} hu or Daniel Nogradi at nogradi {at} bodri {dot} elte {dot} hu.
Our activities are and were funded by various funding agencies for which we are grateful, these include the Lendulet grant of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the OTKA-NF-104034 grant of OTKA and the EU Framework Programme 7 grant (FP7/2007-2013)/ERC No 208740.
Research
Our primary interests are:
- Chiral symmetry restoration and deconfinement in QCD with Wilson fermions
- Finite chemical potential
- QCD hadron spectrum
- Eigenvalue distributions of the overlap Dirac operator
- Strongly interacting Higgs sector - strong dynamics
- Conformal gauge theories

Computing
Our group has access to a number of high performance computer installations in Europe and also maintains several PC and GPU clusters on site in Budapest.
Our primary resource is a 128 node cluster with two NVIDIA GTX 275 cards in each node, hosted in Budapest. There is also a 60 node cluster with one NVIDIA GTX 8800 card per node.
In addition we also have access to the Juropa cluster and the BlueGene/P installation in Forschungszentrum Juelich, Germany.
Our collaboriation with the University of Wuppertal, Germany also allows us to use several PC and GPU clusters there.
