 op on Frontiers of Active Targets and Nuclear Spectroscopy  (FATaNS2026) 
 will be held at the Nishina Hall of the RIKEN Nishina Center on June 8 to 
 10\, 2026. FATaNS2026 is a post-satellite workshop following the internati
 onal conference ARIS2026 in Fukushima (June 1 to 7). \nResearch on nuclea
 r spectroscopy and nuclear reactions using active targets has advanced sig
 nificantly in recent years. Active targets have substantially enhanced exp
 eriments with radioactive-isotope (RI) beams by enabling high-luminosity m
 easurements even with low-intensity beams\, while achieving extremely low 
 detection thresholds and wide solid-angle coverage. These capabilities hav
 e led to important results that provide new insights into the nuclear stru
 cture of open quantum systems\, clustering phenomena\, collective motion a
 nd shell evolution in unstable nuclei\, as well as astrophysical nuclear r
 eactions relevant to nucleosynthesis.\n At the core of active-target tech
 nology lies the Time Projection Chamber (TPC). Substantial progress has be
 en made in detector design\, readout technologies\, simulation frameworks\
 , and data-analysis methods for TPC-based systems. In parallel\, new activ
 e-target projects are underway at accelerator facilities worldwide. Beyond
  active targets\, TPCs also play essential roles in a wide variety of nucl
 ear-physics experiments that utilize high-precision three-dimensional trac
 king\, and these broader applications have also seen rapid technical and s
 cientific developments.\n Given the expansion of the community and recent
  technological advances\, there is a growing need to share technical exper
 tise\, exchange operational and analysis experience\, and discuss strategi
 es for maximizing scientific output in experiments employing active target
 s and TPCs.\n The purpose of this workshop is to review recent research r
 esults obtained with active targets and TPC-based detectors and to provide
  a forum for discussing future research directions and experimental progra
 ms. In addition\, the workshop aims to promote deeper discussions on theor
 etical studies related to nuclear spectroscopy and nuclear reactions with 
 active targets\, thereby fostering closer integration between experimental
  and theoretical efforts.\nTopics\nThe main topics include:\n\n\nExperimen
 tal results in nuclear spectroscopy and nuclear reactions using active tar
 gets and TPCs\n\n\nTheoretical studies related to nuclear structure and re
 actions\, nucleosynthesis\n\n\nDevelopment of active-target detector syste
 ms\n\n\nData-analysis techniques for active-target experiments\n\n\nFuture
  experimental programs employing active targets\n\n\n \nInvited speakers
