Welcome to the annual all-hands meeting of the USQCD Collaboration, which will take place from April 15 to 17, 2026 at Argonne National Laboratory. 

USQCD (https://www.usqcd.org) is a collaboration of US scientists developing and using large-scale computers for calculations in lattice quantum chromodynamics.

Lattice QCD calculations allow us to understand the results of particle and nuclear physics experiments in terms of QCD, the theory of quarks and gluons.

The 2026 USQCD all-hands meeting is sponsored by Argonne National Laboratory. The meeting venue is located in the Theory and Computing Sciences Conference Center (Building 240) on the campus of Argonne National Laboratory. The meeting rooms 1404-1407 and 1416 are located on the ground floor in the right wing of Building 240, near the exterior fence. The meeting will feature a 3-day schedule, which includes a 1.5 day tutorial session from April 15 to 16 and the all-hands meeting from April 16 to 17.

The registration fee is $100 and waived for student participants. All participants without an Argonne badge need to apply for site access to Argonne campus and the Guest House.
