The Muon1 Distributed Particle Accelerator Design Project proudly announces that today, at08:07GMT, it reached the 20 quadrillion (20,000,000,000,000,000) particle time-steps (pts) milestone.This is the amount of work needed to simulate a particle for 55 hours, 33 minutes and 20 seconds,which at an average of 90% of the speed of light (0.9c) would cover a distance of 360 AstronomicalUnits - ten times the average distance between Pluto and the Sun, and three times further than the mostdistance man-made object (Voyager 1) has traveled. (press release)The Boinc community provided in total 12.4% of the power of the whole Muon1 project. For the most recent running lattices the Boinc part is between 30 and 40%.At the end of this article is a good overview about the planned neutrino factory.
