Isotopes are commodities of strategic importance for the nation. The nuclear physics program also manages the doe isotope program which supports the production distribution and development of production techniques for radioactive and stable isotopes in short supply and critical to the nation. The main facility is a 200 mev cyclotron which supplies particle beams.
The ithemba laboratory for accelerator based sciences is a group of multi disciplinary research laboratories administered by the national research foundation at a site located 30 km from uct. Fundamental and applied nuclear physics research mainly takes place within the department and at ithemba labs national laboratory. The emphasis is on original research papers.
Electromagnetic and weak interactions. Intermediate and high energy heavy ion physics. Nuclear structure and dynamics.
Nuclear physics a focuses on the domain of nuclear and hadronic physics and includes the following subsections. An important motivation mentioned in section 9 2 4 for undertaking spectroscopic studies away from the stability line was to search for new structures. Traditional nuclear physics allowed the exploration of nuclear structure close to the nuclear species that occur in nature that is along the line of beta stability shown in fig.
About 10 000 times smaller than the atom the constituent particles of the nucleus protons and neutrons attract one another so strongly by the nuclear forces that nuclear energies are approximately 1 000 000 times larger than typical atomic energies. This branch of physics deals with the structure of the atomic nucleus and the radiation from unstable nuclei. Physics physics nuclear physics.
This includes nuclear power nuclear weapons. Discoveries in nuclear physics have led to applications in many fields. Nuclear physics should not be confused with atomic physics which studies the atom as a whole including its electrons.
Other forms of nuclear matter are also studied.
Nuclear physics. Nuclear physics is the field of physics that studies atomic nuclei and their constituents and interactions.
