2026 NUCLEI Mission, Scientific Scope, Core Research Areas

NUCLEI Project Mission is to provide the theoretical foundation for experiments at major facilities like the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) and the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS)

The Scientific Scope of the  NUCLEI Initiative is to transform Nuclear Physics through High-Performance Computing. The NUCLEI project brings together nuclear physicists, applied mathematicians, and computer scientists to provide a predictive theory of atomic nuclei. By leveraging exascale computing, we aim to understand the properties of matter from the smallest subatomic scales to the interior of neutron stars

Our annual meetings are designed to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration between nuclear physicists and computer scientists. Presentations typically fall into the following categories:

The Core Research Areas are: 

  • Nuclear Interactions and Currents

  • Properties of Light and Medium-Mass Nuclei

  • Electroweak Response and Fundamental Symmetries

  • Nuclear Fission and Large-Amplitude Collective Motion

  • Nuclear Astrophysics and Nucleonic Matter

  • Computational & Mathematical Innovation
