Description
In today's Nuclear Physics (NP), the exploration of the origin, evolution, and structure of the universe's matter is pursued through a broad research program at various collaborative scales, ranging from small groups to large experiments comparable in size to those in high-energy physics (HEP). Consequently, software and computing efforts vary from DIY approaches among a few researchers to well-organized activities within large experiments. With new experiments underway and on the horizon, and data volumes rapidly increasing even at small experiments, the NP community has been considering the next generation of data processing and analysis workflows that will optimize scientific output. In my keynote, I will discuss the unique aspects of software and computing in NP and explore how the NP community can strengthen collective efforts to chart a path forward for the next decade. This decade promises to be an exciting one, with diverse scientific programs ongoing at facilities such as CEBAF, FRIB, RHIC, and many others. I will also demonstrate how this path informs the software and computing at the future Electron-Ion Collider.·
