Neutron Science and Technology Group (P-23)The Neutron Science and Technology Group (P-23) carries out a wide-ranging program of fundamental and applied research in weapons physics, nuclear physics, and quantum-information science. The common feature of this diverse set of efforts is the application of state-of-the-art techniques in particle and light detection and the recording of transient events. We contribute to Laboratory programs in stockpile stewardship by participating in the design and fielding of Subcritical Experiments, hydrodynamic experiments, and the reanalysis and archiving of data from past nuclear-weapons tests. Our fundamental research focuses on nuclear and weak-interaction physics and on state-of-the-art measurements of astrophysical phenomena such as solar neutrinos and ultra-high-energy gamma rays. Applied research includes the development of the application of imaging and neutron technologies to problems relevant to national defense and industry, and participation in the accelerator production of tritium (APT). |
