Yoyo: 25 quadrillionen particle timesteps milestone @ Muon

The Muon1 Distributed Particel Accelerator Design Project proudly announces that today, at 14:03UTC, it reached the 25 quadrillionen (25,000,000,000,000,000) particle timesteps milestone. Yoyo@home users provided 14.6% of it. The project, which uses genetic algorithm methods, rather than the more usual 'brute force' methods, is attempting to design the best particle accelerator sections possible. It is part of the Neutrino Factory project, based out of the Rutherford Appleton Lab, in near Oxford, UK. See the full press release here.
