Tokyo Institute of Technology: Research Laboratory for Nuclear Reactors
Describes the research being undertaken which includes nuclear fission and fusion.
Spallation Neutron Source
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) will provide the most intense pulsed neutron beams in the world for scientific research and industrial development.
Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator Pulsed Neutron Source
http://www.phy.ornl.gov/orela/orela.html/
The ORELA is a powerful electron accelerator-based neutron source located in the Physics Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory
National user facility located at Michigan State University, operating two coupled cyclotrons for basic research in nuclear science as well as accelerator and instrumentation research and development.
KFKI Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics
A division of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Information on organisation, activities, publications, prizes and conferences.
Kernfysisch Versneller Instituut (KVI)
Nuclear physics institute in Groningen, Netherlands, has AGOR cyclotron.
Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics
Physics Frontiers Center provides data and opportunities for research and education at the interface or nuclear physics and astrophysics
Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility
http://www.phy.ornl.gov/hribf/hribf.html
Devoted to low-energy nuclear structure and astrophysics research. Radioactive ions are produced by the K=105 Oak Ridge Isochronous Cyclotron (ORIC). The radioactive elements are injected into the 25 MV Tandem Accelerator producing beams of 0.1-10 MeV per nucleon for light nuclei and up to 5 MeV per nucleon for mass 80. These beams are ideal for research in nuclear astrophysics and nuclear structure.
Gesellschaft fr Schwerionenforschung mbH, Darmstadt, Germany
GSI is a heavy ion research center. The laboratory performs basic and applied research in physics and related natural science disciplines using a heavy ion accelerator facility.
DOE's Office of High Energy and Nuclear Physics
http://www.er.doe.gov/henp/index.htm
Administers a $1 billion/year research program in the U.S. Most high energy and nuclear physics research is conducted using accelerators which produce beams of subatomic particles (e.g., protons and electrons) or nuclei moving essentially at the speed of light. When a beam is collided with another beam or a fixed target, new particles are created from the kinetic energy in the beam.
CERN
European Laboratory for Particle Physics. Includes an introduction of the laboratory, information on experiments being conducted, publication archives, photos and press releases.
Californium User Facility (CUF) for Neutron Science
http://www.ornl.gov/adm/user_facilities/learn_more/neutron_science.cfm
Oak Ridge National Laboratories. Promotes research and applications of Californium 252 produced at the neighboring High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR).
Argonne National Laboratory (ANL)
Conducts research in four broad categories: basic science, scientific facilities, energy resources, and environmental management, with programs ranging from studies of the atomic nucleus to global climate change research.
