87. High-performance simulations of higher representations of Wilson fermions

Sofie Martins (University of Graz)

01/10/2026, 18:00

Poster

We present HiRep v2, an open-source software suite for high-performance lattice field theory simulations with dynamical Wilson fermions in higher representations of $SU(N_g)$ gauge groups. This new version fully supports graphics processing unit (GPU) acceleration, optimizing both gauge configuration generation and measurements for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. HiRep v2 integrates improved gauge and...

89. System-Size Effects and Scaling Laws in Nanoscale Droplet Wetting: A Molecular Dynamics Study

Mr Naveen Kumar Subramanian (The Cyprus Institute)

Poster

Wetting dynamics plays a central role in applications such as coating processes, microfluidics, and green energy technologies. Despite extensive theoretical work, several aspects of the influence of droplet size on wetting dynamics remain unclear, particularly how nanoscale dynamics evolve toward macroscopic behaviour as the system size increases.

In this contribution, we present a...

88. Study of the Λ-hyperon to proton transition in Lattice QCD

Andreas Konstantinou (University of Cyprus & The Cyprus Institute)

01/10/2026, 18:40

Poster

In this poster we present the study of Λ-hyperon to proton transition in Lattice QCD. We use the computed form factors from LQCD, and apply it to a number of problems. For example, we compute the decay rate of the electron semi-leptonic decay, and by combining it with the experimental data we obtain $V_{us}$. Furthermore, we use this decay channel to search for possible physics beyond the...
