1WA.00001: Nuclear structure and reactions from effective field theory Invited Speaker: Sebastian Koenig The nuclear physics landscape appears today as a sequence of effective field theories (EFTs) connected to the Standard Model through symmetries and lattice simulations of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Tremendous phenomenological success has been achieved in describing large parts of the nuclear chart in terms of interactions derived from EFT. Yet, many challenges and open questions remain on the path to theoretically predicting nuclear structure and reactions with equal accuracy and fully quantified uncertainty, a goal that is crucial for a fruitful synergy of theory and experiment in the FRIB era. In this talk I will discuss progress and perspectives for this effort, with a focus in particular on theoretical approaches to study exotic nuclear states. [Preview Abstract] |

1WA.00002: Fundamental-symmetry tests at the dawn of the FRIB era Invited Speaker: Nicholas Scielzo Exotic isotopes in which the subtle effects of symmetry violations are amplified can serve as ideal testing grounds to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. New techniques paired with high-intensity radioactive beams allow increasingly stringent investigations of certain properties of the electroweak interaction, discrete symmetries, and the neutrino. I will discuss current efforts and the opportunities that will become available when FRIB comes online. [Preview Abstract] |

1WA.00003: Education, Outreach, and Diversity at FRIB Invited Speaker: Hironori Iwasaki The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams will provide beams of rare isotopes with unprecedented intensities, offering tremendous discovery potential in the next decade and beyond. How can we realize that huge potential? Scientific innovation does not rely solely on beam intensities, because science is always driven by people. We need to bring in experts in diverse areas of nuclear science and related fields, educate the next-generation of scientists and engineers, and foster community that reaches out general public and welcomes new ideas and approaches. Needless to say, education, outreach, and diversity are important by themselves, but they are also critical to success of science at FRIB. In this talk, I will present and discuss some of ongoing education and outreach activities, diversity efforts, and future implementation at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory and the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams.
