Accelerating lattice gauge theory studies with Agentic AI

Lattice gauge theory research, with its computationally intensive simulations and complex multi‑stage workflows, is well positioned to benefit from agentic AI systems. We demonstrate how such tools can support key components of lattice gauge theory research, including novel simulation code development using standard LQCD frameworks, HPC job orchestration, simulation data analysis, and expert‑guided tuning of algorithmic parameters such as Hasenbusch mass preconditioning and multigrid solvers. Our results show that agentic AI can reduce manual effort, improve productivity, and accelerate the research cycle while maintaining essential human oversight.

The Collins-Soper Kernel from Lattice QCD

I will present the first complete determination of the quark Collins-Soper kernel, which relates TMDs at different rapidity scales, using lattice QCD and including systematic control of quark mass, operator mixing, and discretization effects. Next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic matching is used to match lattice-calculable distributions to the corresponding TMDs. The continuum-extrapolated lattice QCD results are consistent with several recent phenomenological parametrizations of the Collins-Soper kernel and are precise enough to disfavor other parametrizations. I will also discuss a first exploration of the gluon Collins-Soper kernel.
