Nuclear and accelerator based physics
Research groups in nuclear and accelerator-based physics are investigating, for example, what types of nuclei can exist, what shapes they take and how elements are formed in the universe. The research is also useful to satellite manufacturers in developing electronic devices that are more resistant to radiation conditions in space.
Nuclear and accelerator-based physics groups use the facilities of the Accelerator Laboratory and the light and heavy ion beams from accelerators. The Accelerator Laboratory of the Department of Physics has strong expertise in radiation, nuclear and accelerator-based physics and trains experts in these fields. Nuclear and accelerator physics experts thus contribute to a healthier and safer society.
For more information on the groups' activities, please visit their research pages.
