    The Center for Experimental Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics (CENPA) is the new name for the organization developed from the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington.
CENPA supports a broad program of experimental physics research. We do basic research here using our in-house accelerators, and we have a strong program in precision experimental studies of gravity. A major portion of our effort is involved with experiments done elsewhere using equipment we develop here.
Our program in neutrino research includes a large effort at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory in Canada, participation in the KATRIN tritium beta decay experiment, and work in development of experiments to search for neutrinoless double beta decay. We also perform user-mode research at large accelerator and reactor facilities around the world.
Reading our current Annual Report will provide a detailed overview of our most recent activities.
