The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, under the Nuclear Physics (NP) program, is issuing notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for research and development (R&D) efforts directed at artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for autonomous optimization and control of accelerators and detectors of relevance to current or next generation NP accelerator facilities and scientific instrumentation, as well as applications applying AI/ML to advance nuclear physics computations.
The approach for this NOFO is to support the development and application of AI/ML in all research areas of NP to expand and accelerate scientific reach and discovery. Opportunities include AI to address challenges in autonomous control, efficiency of operation of accelerators and scientific instruments, digital twinning for future colliders, efficient extraction of critical information from large complex data sets and enabling data-driven discovery of new physics.
This announcement builds on NP’s efforts to address technical challenges in theory, simulations, control, data acquisition, and data analysis. AI methods and techniques promise to address these challenges and shorten the timeline for experimental and computational discovery.
