<h2>Mission</h2>
<div>
<p class="standardFont">
Microseconds after the Big Bang, the universe was filled with an
extremely hot fluid called the Quark-Gluon Plasma. As the universe
expanded, this plasma cooled and condensed into the building blocks
of ordinary matter around us: protons, neutrons, and atomic nuclei.
Droplets of this fluid, which exists only at temperatures above 2
trillion Kelvin, are generated and studied in the laboratory today
using collisions of high-energy heavy ions, at Brookhaven National
Laboratory and CERN. A key method to study the Quark-Gluon Plasma
is the generation of high-energy quarks and gluons in the collision,
which interact with the hot plasma and emerge as “jets” of particles
that are measured by experiments. These jets provide powerful tools
to study the internal structure of the plasma, analogous to
tomography in medical imaging. However, interpretation of jet
measurements requires sophisticated numerical modeling and
simulation, and comparison of theory calculations with experimental
data demands advanced statistical tools. The JETSCAPE Collaboration,
an interdisciplinary team of physicists, computer scientists, and
statisticians, will develop a comprehensive software framework that
will provide a systematic, rigorous approach to meet this challenge.
Training programs, workshops, summer schools and MOOCs, will
disseminate the expertise needed to modify and maintain this framework.

<h2>Development</h2>
<div>
<p class="standardFont">
The JETSCAPE Collaboration will develop a scalable and portable open
source software package to replace a variety of existing codes. The
modular integrated software framework will consist of interacting
generators to simulate (i) wave functions of the incoming nuclei,
(ii) viscous fluid dynamical evolution of the hot plasma, and (iii)
transport and modification of jets in the plasma. Integrated advanced
statistical analysis tools will provide non-expert users with
quantitative methods to validate novel theoretical descriptions of
jet modification, by comparison with the complete set of current
experimental data. To improve the efficiency of this computationally
intensive task, the collaboration will develop trainable emulators
that can accurately predict experimental observables by interpolation
between full model runs, and employ accelerators such as Graphics
Processing Units (GPUs) for both the fluid dynamical simulations and
the modification of jets. The collaboration will create this framework
with a user-friendly envelope that allows for continuous modifications,
updates and improvements of each of its components. The effort will
serve as a template for other fields that involve complex dynamical
modeling and comparison with large data sets. It will open a new era
for high-precision extraction of the internal structure of the
Quark-Gluon Plasma with quantifiable uncertainties.
