DIS2026 is the 33rd in an annual series of International Workshops covering a broad mixture of material related to Quantum Chromodynamics and Deep Inelastic Scattering as well as a general survey of the hottest topics in high energy physics. A significant part of the program is devoted to the most recent theoretical advances and results from large experiments at BNL, CERN, DESY, FNAL, JLab and KEK.

The synthesis of heavy elements occurs through complex reactions in unstable nuclei in exotic astrophysical environments. Understanding this requires precise knowledge of the nuclei involved, which are often experimentally inaccessible and thus need to be studied theoretically. Substantial progress has been made in the reach and precision of nuclear structure and reaction theory, positioning the field to refine our knowledge of key nucleosynthesis reactions. This workshop will bring together experts in nuclear structure and reactions to focus on the interface of state-of-the-art nuclear structure and reaction theory. The key goal is to bring these communities together to target necessary developments for the prediction of processes relevant for nucleosynthesis in medium-mass and heavy nuclei, such as nucleon-capture reactions, electroweak transitions, and nuclear fusion and fission.

This workshop will address the low-energy probes that access the electroweak lepton-quark interactions using atomic nuclei, elaborate on connections between beta decays, parity violation, and the physics of exotic and ordinary atoms, and study the impact of these probes in a broader context through the global electroweak fit to low-energy and collider data in the Standard Model and beyond. The atomic, nuclear, and particle communities often work separately. This interdisciplinary workshop will bring together experts from these fields, both theorists and experimentalists, and create an exciting context for them to interact, recognize intersections, foster connections, and seek possibilities to guide the planning of future scientific programs.

This workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of novel ideas in nuclear and particle physics, particularly those involving high-power laser systems. We aim to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, including the exploration of experimental feasibility with insights from leading experts in laser-plasma physics, with the ultimate goal of stimulating collaborative experimental proposals.

Superheavy nuclei occupy the extremely high-Z edge of the Segré chart, and superheavy elements form the limit of the periodic table. The physics and chemistry of superheavy elements are cutting-edge areas of research in nuclear science today. Understanding the properties of the heaviest nuclei through studies of nuclear reaction mechanisms and decay properties using innovative experimental techniques and novel theoretical approaches will help us answer fundamental questions about the nucleon-nucleon interaction, the creation of chemical elements in the universe, and the limits of nuclear stability. In this workshop, senior and junior researchers will critically assess recent advances in superheavy element research and the challenges hindering further progress to identify the best pathways to push our knowledge beyond current frontiers. Keywords: Physical and chemical properties of superheavy nuclei; production mechanisms; decay of superheavy nuclei; detection and identification of superheavy nuclei.

The symposium addresses experimental and theoretical studies of the equation-of-state (EoS) of isospin asymmetric nuclear matter, with its implications in astrophysics. The scientific sessions of NuSym26 will present latest results and new ideas on probes of the symmetry energy below and above saturation density from laboratory experiments as well as from astrophysical observations, gravitational waves and supernova neutrinos.
