[Cuga] Nuclear Physics (DNP) NSAC Long Range Plan Town Hall meetings- a message from Haiyan Gao

[Lorelei Carlson]

Town Hall meetings to address the NSAC charge for a new long range plan for nuclear science are being planned.

There will be three Town Hall meetings in the upcoming months: Hot and Cold QCD; Nuclear Structure, Reactions and Astrophysics; and Fundamental Symmetries, Neutrons, and Neutrinos. Each of the Town Halls will include six cross-cutting areas: accelerator, target and detector science; computing; diversity, equity and inclusion; education; isotopes; and nuclear data.

The DNP called for community suggestions for the Town Hall conveners. Based on these nominations the DNP Executive Committee chose four conveners for each Town Hall meeting.

The Town Hall conveners who have accepted this responsibility are:
Hot and Cold QCD: Bjoern Schenke (BNL), Anne Sickles (Illinois), Feng Yuan (LBNL), Xiaochao Zheng (UVA)

Nuclear Structure, Reactions, and Astrophysics: Alexandra Gade (MSU), Sofia Quaglioni (LLNL), Grigory Rogachev (Texas A&M), Rebecca Surman (Notre
Dame)

Fundamental Symmetries, Neutrons, and Neutrinos: Vincenzo Cirigliano (INT/UW), Lindley Winslow (MIT), Jon Engel (Chapel Hill), Leah Broussard (ORNL)

These conveners will work with the DNP Executive Committee to form the program committee, making sure that the crosscutting areas are covered in sufficient
depth.

The Hot and Cold QCD Town Hall will be at MIT, 23-25 September. The website for this meeting is indico.mit.edu/e/QCDTownHall<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/indico.mit.edu/e/QCDTownHall__;!!OToaGQ!qYFX5s_Lnx-0dvfvSmimB0vLbMrlRvL3xVbJVw9i6kQnwVwUYFmoG0fHZVnKb18ifhnduBmcjkHpsqx9QzVRbCHlzwmwdDQ$>.  The Nuclear Structure, Reactions, and Astrophysics Town Hall will be held at ANL, 14-16 November. The Fundamental Symmetries, Neutrons and Neutrinos Town Hall has yet
to be scheduled but it will be in the NC Research Triangle area (Raleigh - Durham - Chapel Hill). While there is a ``target'' range of dates, 30 November - 15 December, no date has been set yet.  The organizers are actively looking for possible venues/dates, leaning towards 30 November - 2 December (if possible). The duration of most town hall meetings will be 2.5 days.

While in person attendance is encouraged, there will be virtual options for attendance at all the town hall meetings.

Everyone who wants to participate in the process is encouraged to join NSAC Long Range Plan<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/engage.aps.org/communities/community-home?CommunityKey=0ae5031d-9620-4791-a486-0d4adf51254b__;!!OToaGQ!qYFX5s_Lnx-0dvfvSmimB0vLbMrlRvL3xVbJVw9i6kQnwVwUYFmoG0fHZVnKb18ifhnduBmcjkHpsqx9QzVRbCHlkCvyn20$>, the dedicated APS Engage website, to follow the process.
