Nuclear & Particle Physics Directorate

Nuclear and Particle Physics (NPP) at BNL comprises the Collider-Accelerator Department (including the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory, NSRL), the Physics Department, the Instrumentation Division, and the Superconducting Magnet Division.  Links to department/division web pages may be found to the left.

Announcements

HEPAP/P5 was charged to develop a new long range plan for particle physics for the next decade.  The panel held three public meetings.  Here are their agendas, with links to the presentations:  Fermilab, January 31-February 2, 2008;  SLAC, February 21-23, 2008;  Brookhaven, 6-8 March 2008. The P5 Report (5/29/08)

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
