If the situation does not change, particle physics may be forced to slow down dramatically. FORM got its start in the mid-1980s, when the role of computers was changing rapidly.

Since 2000, a particle physics paper that cites FORM has been published every few days, on average. “Most of the [high-precision] results that our group obtained in the past 20 years were heavily ...

KITP’s rapid response program aimed to translate interest from the physics community into concrete recommendations to these planning groups. It brought together accelerator physicists, ...

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use ...
