About this Research Topic
The purpose of this Research Topic is to bring together contributors who have established themselves as experts in uncertain quantification in nuclear physics and to collect articles detailing their work. Authors are requested to provide an overview of recent accomplishments in this topic and, more significantly, to identify future challenges and needs. Additionally, they are urged to include details about the formal elements of the methodologies they use in their investigations.
This Research Topic will provide a summary of the most recent, cutting-edge advancements in addressing uncertainty quantification in nuclear physics, with the goal of creating a reference book for practitioners and aspiring young scientists who want to get involved in this research area. We expect to cover the subjects of optimization problems in nuclear theory, Bayesian parameter estimation in nuclear-physics effective field theories, uncertainty quantification in calculations of structure and reactions of nuclear systems, uncertainty analysis in lattice quantum chromodynamics, uncertainty quantification in density functional theory applications, global fits and Bayesian inference in "Beyond the Standard Model" physics, uncertainties in parton distribution functions, dynamical modeling of heavy-ion reactions, and emulators as an efficient tool for uncertainty quantification.
Within this collection we accept both original work and review articles.
Keywords: nuclear physics, uncertainty quantification, bayesian methods, emulators, predictions, statistical inference
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
