Description
Modern nuclear and high energy physics facilities, including CERN, Jefferson Lab, RHIC, and the upcoming Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), are generating exascale of data. This unprecedented amount of data offers an opportunity to answer many fundamental questions in elementary particle interactions, such as QCD in the nonperturbative regime. The NPTwins2024 workshop, held in Genova, Italy in December, 2024, highlighted the emerging role of digital twins, virtual replicas of complex physical systems, in modeling and simulating nuclear and particle interactions. This talk summarizes the methodologies and applications of digital twins presented in NPTwins2024 to bridge the gap between data and physical insight, as well as the associated challenges and future directions.
