FRIB-TA Summer School: Emergence of Collective Motion in Atomic Nuclei will be held at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) on the campus of Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing, MI USA, on 19 - 22 August, 2025
In this summer school, we will discuss our current understanding of nuclear collective motion with emphasis on new developments relevant to the FRIB scientific program.
Lectures will include the relevant theoretical frameworks applied to current examples and discuss possible new and exotic phenomena that can be studied at FRIB, such as the effects of weak binding and continuum coupling. There will also be a number of hands-on activities to familiarize participants with some of the codes currently in use by the practitioners.
The program will cover the topics of:
- Overview of the experimental evidence
- Collective models, the Nilsson, Particle Rotor, and Cranking models
- Shell model approach, Island of Inversion
- Ab initio collectivity
Lectures:
Mitch Allmond (ORNL)
Heather Crawford (LBNL)
Alexandra Gade (MSU/FRIB)
Thomas Papenbrock (UT/ORNL)
Ragnar Stroberg (Notre Dame)

The Summer School is organized by the FRIB Theory Alliance and is made possible thanks to the support by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics, under the FRIB Theory Alliance award DE-SC0013617.
