The NUCEI Collaboration Meeting will be held at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) on the campus of Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing, MI USA.
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the 2026 SciDAC-5 NUCLEI Collaboration Meeting. We are pleased to gather our community of nuclear physicists, applied mathematicians, and computer scientists to advance our shared mission: bridging the gap between fundamental nuclear theory and the next generation of high-performance computing.
Our work remains vital to the success of major DOE experimental facilities, including FRIB, ATLAS, and JLab, as well as future large-scale neutrino experiments like LEGEND. This meeting serves as a critical forum to share progress on our core research pillars: Precision
Nuclear Theory: Delivering accurate predictions for stable nuclei, rare isotopes, and nuclear fission.
Electroweak & Neutrino Physics: Calculating nuclear matrix elements and interactions in dense matter.
Computational Innovation: Advancing our numerical solvers and libraries through research in Machine Learning, Uncertainty Quantification (UQ), and Heterogeneous Computing.
Over the three days, we will focus on the integration of our latest algorithmic developments with the leadership-class supercomputers at our disposal. By fostering direct engagement between domain scientists and computing experts, we continue to push the boundaries of the "nuclear many-body problem" and enhance the predictive power of nuclear science.
Thank you for your continued dedication to the NUCLEI project. We look forward to a productive session of brainstorming, technical updates, and collaborative discovery.

2026 NUCLEI Collaboration
Leading the Charge in Computational Nuclear Physics
The SciDAC-5 NUCLEI collaboration sits at the intersection of nuclear theory, applied mathematics, and exascale computing. Our mission is to provide high-precision predictive modeling for the next generation of nuclear science. By integrating advanced numerical solvers with cutting-edge physics, we provide the theoretical backbone for major DOE experimental facilities—including FRIB, ATLAS, and JLab—and upcoming 1-ton scale neutrino experiments like LEGEND. Our work focuses on delivering more accurate nuclear interactions and rigorous uncertainty quantification to unlock the secrets of stable nuclei, rare isotopes, and the complex dynamics of nuclear fission.
