DESCRIPTION:The FRIB-TA Topical Program: Statistical Nuclear Properties i
 n the AI/ML Era: Advances\, Challenges\, and Synergies for FRIB Science wi
 ll 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 U
 SA.\n\nStatistical nuclear properties\, such as nuclear level densities an
 d γ-ray strength functions\, are essential inputs for modeling nuclear re
 actions and play a central role in predicting reaction rates relevant to a
 strophysics and nuclear stewardship. The unprecedented access to unstable 
 and exotic nuclear systems enabled by FRIB\, as well as other radioactive 
 beam facilities\, places new demands on theory and data analysis\, requiri
 ng reliable\, uncertainty-quantified statistical properties away from stab
 ility.\n \nThe aim of this topical program is to bring together experimen
 talists\, theorists\, and experts in modern statistical and data-driven me
 thods to establish a coherent\, predictive framework for statistical nucle
 ar properties in the AI/ML era. The program will foster close interaction 
 between experiment and theory\, highlighting recent accomplishments while 
 identifying and addressing current assumptions\, challenges\, and limitati
 ons in existing approaches. It will also emphasize systematic benchmarking
  of models and the integration of modern statistical and machine learning 
 methods for uncertainty quantification and data interpretation. A key goal
  is to determine how different approaches can be combined to improve predi
 ctive power and guide future experimental and theoretical efforts at FRIB 
 and complementary facilities.\n \nThe program will result in a review art
 icle outlining key challenges\, synergies\, and future directions. This ar
 ticle will summarize the main discussions\, benchmarking efforts\, and rec
 ommended strategies for improving the determination of statistical nuclear
  properties. In addition\, the program will identify isotopes for which re
 -analysis of extracted level densities using multiple experimental techniq
 ues can provide important benchmarks\, as well as best practices for asses
 sing systematic and theoretically induced uncertainties. These outcomes wi
 ll provide a roadmap for achieving robust estimates of statistical nuclear
  properties relevant to FRIB science.\n\nThe Topical Program is organized 
 by the FRIB Theory Alliance and is made possible thanks to support by th
 e U.S. Department of Energy\, Office of Science\, Office of Nuclear Physic
 s\, under the FRIB Theory Alliance award DE-SC0013617. For selected parti
 cipants we hope to provide partial support which may include lodging and
  some meals. After registration has closed you will be contacted with the
  support we are able to provide. We will not provide support for transport
 ation expenses.\nParticipant's resources \n\n\n\nFRIB event entrance\nWir
