DESCRIPTION:The FRIB-TA Topical Program: Future directions in nuclear bet
 a decay at FRIB will be held at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB
 ) in rooms 1221 A & B on the campus of Michigan State University (MSU) in 
 East Lansing\, MI USA.\n\n\n\n\nNuclear beta decay is at the heart of und
 erstanding the questions that drive nuclear science and fundamental physic
 s. For instance\, beta decays can illuminate the behavior of nuclei at th
 e extremes of stability\, interplay with radiative neutron captures to pro
 duce the observed elemental abundances\, and potentially hold the key to b
 etter understanding what new physics lies beyond the Standard Model. FRIB 
 is positioned to address these questions with its unique capabilities. \
 n\nThe arrival of FRIB concurrent with the growing reach of ab initio nu
 clear theory - as well as with the development of experimental approaches 
 leveraging emerging quantum technologies - potentiates deeper understandin
 gs of nuclear structure and fundamental symmetries. Realizing this potenti
 al\, however\, will require the coordination of theorists and experimental
 ists to hone present models\, craft impactful measurements\, and identify 
 the problems where synergy is needed to move our knowledge forward. The ai
 m of this program is to facilitate that collaboration in the hope of maxim
 izing the information our field gains from beta decays in the FRIB era.\n
 \nThe primary aim of this program is to overview the current state of theo
 retical approaches to modeling beta decays\, to discuss the present exper
 imental status\, and to determine how challenges in these areas can be add
 ressed to maximize the opportunities presented by a state-of-the-art facil
 ity like FRIB. Over the course of the program\, we hope to highlight speci
 fic focus areas of nuclear beta decay relevant to FRIB.\n\nThe major topi
 cs we will discuss in this Topical Program are:\n\n\n	Refining ab initio 
 nuclear theory\n	Decay spectroscopy at FRIB and exotic systems\n	Emerging 
 quantum technologies\n	Radiative corrections\n	Informing astrophysical mod
 els\n\n\n\nThe Topical Program is organized by the FRIB Theory Alliance a
 nd partially supported by IRL NPA. For selected participants we hope to 
 provide partial support which may include lodging and some meals. After r
 egistration has closed you will be contacted with the support we are able 
 to provide. We will not provide support for transportation expenses.\n\nPa
