Workshops
An ongoing quasi-annual workshop series on «Lattice for BSM Physics» connects lattice practitioners with experimentalists, phenomenologists and other theorists interested in searches for new physics. We include below a list of previous workshops with links to their web pages when available.

Data releases
Two of our recent publications are accompanied by open data releases of derived results such as the Wilson-flowed Polyakov loop or correlator fit results for model averaging:
- doi:10.5281/zenodo.8007954 accompanies arXiv:2306.06095
- doi:10.5281/zenodo.3921870 accompanies arXiv:2006.16429
Gauge configurations
Gauge configurations are too large to include in the open data releases listed above, but the gauge ensembles we have generated are available upon request to members of USQCD, and to non-members for non-competing use.
SU(4) staggered ensembles
An extensive set of 1,381 finite-temperature and 12 zero-temperature SU(4) ensembles are described by this data release. These ensembles use an nHYP-smeared staggered fermion action with smearing parameters (0.5,0.5,0.4), and a gauge action that includes both fundamental and adjoint plaquette terms with couplings related by beta_A=-beta_F/4. Corresponding publication: arXiv:2006.16429.
SU(3) staggered ensembles
These SU(3) ensembles use an nHYP-smeared staggered fermion action with smearing parameters (0.5,0.5,0.4), and a gauge action that includes both fundamental and adjoint plaquette terms with couplings beta_F=4.8 and beta_A=-1.2, respectively. ‘skip’ is the separation in MDTU that we recommend between subsequent measurements, which corresponds to N thermalized configurations available. Corresponding publications: arXiv:2306.06095, arXiv:1807.08411, arXiv:1601.04027.

SU(3) domain wall ensembles
These SU(3) ensembles use the Iwasaki gauge action and Shamir domain wall fermions with lattice volume 32^3x64, Ls=16 and M5=1.8. N is the number of thermalized configurations available, counting every fifth molecular dynamics time unit (MDTU) starting at the given thermalization cut.
