This project investigates the nucleon spectrum using variational methods at a pion mass of 620 MeV, classifying states according to their lattice symmetries. It includes a proof-of-concept calculation as part of a larger full QCD initiative. The research encompasses three phases, with increasing volumes and decreasing pion masses, aiming to calculate low-lying excited baryon resonance masses, decay widths, and nucleon form factors. The computational costs range from 1.2 to 36 Tflop-yrs, facilitating advanced studies in lattice quantum chromodynamics.
