Physics Plans and Machines in Germany Major Collaborations in Germany: • BMW: Budapest, Marseille, Wuppertal • CLS: Coordinated Lattice Simulations • ETMC: European Twisted Mass Collaboration • QCDSF: QCD Structure Functions • RBG: RBC-Bielefeld-GSI

Physics • BMW: – Thermodynamics (Wuppertal and Budapest) – T=0 Physics (Budapest-Marseille-Wuppertal) • CLS – K-, charm- and B-physics; structural properties of light baryons • QCDSF and ETMC: very similar and broad physics plans, e.g. – Structure functions, form factors and generalised parton distribution functions of baryons and mesons – Distribution Amplitudes of baryons and mesons – Disconnect contributions – Muon anomalous magnetic moment – Resonances – Hadron mass spectrum, decay constants, quark masses, running coupling and Λ parameter • RBC-Bielefeld-GSI: – Non-zero temperature and density – Equation of State
