Physics of Atomic Nuclei (PAN)

Physics of Atomic Nuclei (PAN) is an outreach program at two world leading nuclear physics laboratories: Nuclear Science Laboratory located on the campus of the University of Notre Dame and the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory located on the campus of Michigan State University. It is sponsored by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics – Center for the Evolution of the Elements (JINA-CEE) and taught by NSL and NSCL faculty and staff. We welcome U.S. students who have completed at least one year of high school. The program introduces participants to the fundamentals of the extremely small domain of atomic nuclei and its connection to the extremely large domain of astrophysics and cosmology. Our week-long PAN program for teachers is taking a year hiatus and being replaced by weekend workshops at JINA-CEE institutions.For more information contact Micha Kilburn at mkilburn@nd.edu or look online at http://www.jinaweb.org/outreach/PAN/.
