Research Centers & Databases
Center
for Functional Nanomaterials
This Center will provide researchers with state-of-the-art
capabilities to fabricate and study nanoscale materials. The Center's focus is to
achieve a basic understanding of how these materials respond when in nanoscale form. Nanomaterials offer different chemical and physical properties than
bulk materials, and have the potential to form the basis of new
technologies.
RIKEN
BNL Research Center
This Center, established by the Institute of Physical and Chemical
Research, Japan (RIKEN) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, focuses
on the physics program of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, hard
Quantum Chromodynamic (QCD) / spin physics, lattice QCD and
relativistic heavy ion physics.
Center
for Imaging & Neuroscience
The Brookhaven Center for Imaging and Neuroscience is dedicated to
basic and biomedical research and to integrating data from
positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, among
others, to investigate the synergistic uses of multiple imaging
modalities in studies of the human and animal brain, as well as
other organs.
Center for Radiation Chemistry Research
This Center exploits pulse radiolysis techniques to study chemical
reactions and other phenomena by subjecting samples to pulses of
high-energy electrons. The reactions are followed by various
methods of time-resolved spectroscopy and other detection
techniques. The Center includes the new picosecond Laser-Electron
Accelerator Facility, a 2 MeV Van de Graaff accelerator, and a
cobalt-60 source.
Center
for Spectroscopy in Molecular Science
This Center features an internationally recognized concentration
of expertise in high-resolution laser spectroscopic techniques,
with a strong interaction with theoretical and computational
methods. The Center comprises the Chemical Physics groups in the
BNL Chemistry Department with the participation of groups at SUNY-Stony
Brook and Columbia University.
Environmental
Waste Technology Center
This Center aims to solve today's hazardous materials management problems with innovative and practical solutions in the areas of in situ technologies, waste forms, geochemistry, materials technology, risk assessment and decontamination & decommissioning.
National
Nuclear Data Center
This Center provides information
services in the fields of low and medium energy nuclear physics to
users in the United States and Canada. In particular, the Center
can provide information on neutron, charged-particle, and
photonuclear reactions, nuclear structure, and decay data.
Center
for Accelerator Physics
This Center is an interdepartmental unit with a mission to promote
research and education in Accelerator Physics. The Center fosters
new ideas and teamwork among physicists worldwide for projects
that will steer accelerator physics into the next generation.
Center
for Data Intensive Computing
Data intensive computing refers to the processing and analysis of
very large volumes of data. Its challenge is to ensure that this
data can be stored, retrieved, and mined for its essential
information content by large, geographically dispersed
collaborations.
