University of Washington Nuclear Physics Laboratory
1993 Annual Report
Overview:
The University of Washington Nuclear Physics Laboratory has for
over 40 years supported a broad program of experimental physics research.
The current program includes "in-house" research using the local
tandem
Van de Graaff and superconducting linac accelerators
and non-accelerator research in
gravitation, as well as "user-mode" research at large
accelerator facilities around the world. Our local studies of nuclear
structure and reactions include
nuclear astrophysics,
giant resonance (GDR) studies, studies of
fusion and high angular momentum phenomena in nucleus nucleus collisions,
investigations of
fundamental symmetries,
AMS studies using the tandem as an ultra-precise mass spectrometer,
and a variety of applied activities by
outside users. There is an active program at the
laboratory to develop
instrumentation
in support of both the in-house and the user-mode physics activities.
The user-mode research includes work at
the Argonne ATLAS facility,
the CERN SPS,
the Michigan State NSCL facility,
the Saskatoon electron facility,
the Tandar facility in Argentina, and
the SLAC facility.
