Nuclear Physics. The Laboratory shall conduct experimental and theoretical investigations of the structure and properties of nuclei, emphasizing studies of nuclei under extreme conditions (temperature, isospin, angular momentum, and energy density) as well as studies of neutrinos and double beta decay. Research collaborations involve studies of the quark-gluon plasma at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The Laboratory shall conduct programs to educate and train young scientists, to develop technology in advanced nuclear instrumentation and to define the challenges of relativistic heavy-ion physics. The research includes the development of advanced detectors and systems to deliver high intensity beams for nuclear physics.
