Nuclear Physics (PNU)
Section Information
Nuclear Physics focuses on the study of atomic nuclei, their structure, properties, interactions, and transformations. The field explores fundamental forces within the nucleus and investigates nuclear reactions, radioactive decay, and particle interactions that shape matter and energy in the universe.
Current research includes nuclear structure models, heavy-ion collisions, nuclear astrophysics, rare isotope studies, and fundamental symmetry tests. Advances in accelerator technology, detector systems, computational simulations, and high-precision measurements are expanding understanding of nuclear matter under extreme conditions.
This section publishes theoretical analyses, experimental investigations, computational modeling studies, and review articles related to fundamental and applied aspects of nuclear science.
