1. The Fifth UNEDF Annual Collaboration Meeting June 20-24, 2011, Michigan State University Welcome! UNEDF members collaborators guests

2. Funded for 5 years by DOE (NP, NNSA, ASCR) 9 universities and 7 national labs Junior scientists: 11 students, 19 postdocs/year ~50 researchers in  physics  computer science  applied mathematics International partners Focus on: Predictive power Robust extrapolations Validation Guidance Focus on: Predictive power Robust extrapolations Validation Guidance UNEDF is like a large experimental collaboration but it addresses many areas of the Nuclear Physics program Universal Nuclear Energy Density Functional

3. As UNEDF has matured, it has been satisfying to see the increased coherence within the effort. Indeed, the project has created and facilitated an increasing interplay among the major sections where none existed previously. Each of the main physics areas now includes collaborations that cross over into other sectors. Ab Initio ↔ DFT Neutron drops data provide constraints on density functionals Quantum Monte Carlo and DFT description of dilute fermions EFT ↔ DFT Novel functionals derived from chiral interactions Assessment of 3N forces Global characterization of functionals Ab initio ↔ Reactions Ab initio description of scattering and light-ion reactions DFT↔ Reactions QRPA states for reaction cross sections Microscopic optical model potential from functionals DFT and TDFT description of fission CI ↔ DFT Correlation energy in DFT from shell model Nuclear densities and reaction rates from CI and DFT PHY ↔ CS/AM (see below) High-performance computing New algorithms New frameworks Coherence and Uniqueness A fair number of applications are now running on the biggest machines available, a vast change from when UNEDF started. We can take advantage of the movement towards exascale!
