ABSTRACT
The atomic nucleus was discovered by Ernest Rutherford in 1911. Over 100 years later, as the limits of nuclear existence are beginning to be explored, we are still working toward a complete understanding of the structure and properties of all nuclei. Advanced accelerators and detectors are used to study reactions involving rare nuclei. This talk will discuss the computational challenges and methods of “big data” detector systems.
