+ Congratulations to BAND Fellow, Samuel Sullivan and his collaborators both inside and outside BAND: their paper "Bayesian calibration of a regional optical potential and uncertainty-quantified predictions for compound nucleus reactions was posted to the arXiv this week. Sullivan, together with his BAND co-authors Kyle Beyer and Filomena Nunes, as well as co-authors from the University of Surrey and AWE Nuclear Security Technologies, propose a regional approach to the optical potential, suited for a specific region of the nuclear landscape. The goal is to calibrate the potential along isotopic chains to enable both strong data coverage and improved extrapolative power.

Nuclear reaction dynamics is often modeled using a large set of coupled equations. To enable further Bayesian analysis of nuclear reactions, BAND members Manuel Catacora-Rios, Kyle Beyer, Pablo Giuliani, Kyle Godbey, Dick Furnstahl, and Filomena Nunes developed a reduced-basis coupled-channel emulator (CC-RBM) that precisely reproduces the full coupled-channel solution at substantially lower computational cost. Their article on this work was an Editors' suggestion in the April issue of Physical Review C.
