A tour of the nuclear science lab at Notre Dame!

The Nuclear Science Laboratory at Notre Dame is one of the longest continuously operating accelerator laboratories at any U.S. university! One of our accelerators was even commissioned for nuclear research in the Manhattan Project.
Graduate students Sam Porter and William von Seeger lead us through the fascinating maze of rooms that house mid-sized accelerators dedicated to low energy physics studies; the lab’s research activities are supported by the NSF.
Our nuclear physics research is built around a broad program in experimental and theoretical low-energy nuclear physics, including nuclear astrophysics, nuclear structure, nuclear reactions with radioactive ion beams, accelerator mass spectroscopy, fundamental symmetries, and applied nuclear physics.
