supported by the Commonwealth of Virginia focusing on the emerging science of nuclear femtography.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Nuclear femtography is the mapping of the spatial distribution and motion of the quarks and gluons within the nucleus at the sub-femtoscale, using both data from experiments, and first principles computation in QCD. The realization of this science requires
a multi-disciplinary approach encompassing experimental and theoretical nuclear physics, applied mathematics, and computational science including machine learning, visualization, and calculations at the frontier of exa-scale computing.
