Nuclear Physics
The mission of the Nuclear Physics division is to discover, explore, and understand various aspects of, neutrinos – the weakly interacting fundamental particles most abundant in the universe next to photons, and nuclear reaction dynamics, structure & astrophysics. This requires a broad approach to different, but related, scientific frontiers: improving our understanding of the building blocks of matter; discovering the origins of nuclei; and identifying the forces that transform matter.
