We are excited to announce the upcoming collaborative workshop organized by IRL NPA (In2p3/FRIB) and taking place from Oct 28 to Nov 1 at FRIB. The meeting will be aimed at gathering researchers from multiple communities interested in the nuclear matter equation of state (EOS): an area that is currently undergoing rapid development due to upcoming unprecedented experimental opportunities, notably at FRIB, and the advent of multi-messenger astronomical observations.
The workshop will include discussions of the latest measurements from astrophysics and laboratory experiments, recent developments in ab initio calculations, and new results from dynamical models.
A significant portion of the workshop will be used to form working groups devoted to well-defined and closely-connected challenges:
- Studies of new observables, both from nuclear structure and nuclear dynamics, to obtain tighter constraints on the EOS.
- Quantification of the theoretical uncertainties and theoretical errors, development of appropriate likelihood models for Bayesian estimation, and using emulators and other machine learning techniques.
- Optimization of the comparison protocol between transport models and data, notably via a controlled estimation of the unmeasured theoretical parameters and cross-comparison of different experimental data sets.
Following the working group sessions, we will reconvene to summarize the discussions, identify near-term research directions, and prioritize the topics for future endeavors. If applicable, emerging collaborative efforts will be formulated and timelines for obtaining and presenting results in a publication will be discussed.
The workshop will be held primarily in-person, but a limited number of online participants will be allowed. Partial support for in-person participation will be available for colleagues working in CNRS labs or in US institutions.
If you are applying for financial support, please register before June 25th.
