The
Laboratory
for Nuclear
Science
(LNS) provides
support
for research
by faculty
and research
staff members
primarily
in the fields
of basic
nuclear
and elementary
particle
physics,
including
the activities
of the Center
for Theoretical
Physics (CTP)
in these
fields.
In addition,
it provides
a computing
facility
for its
research
programs.
The largest
local experimental
effort is
in intermediate
energy nuclear
physics,
centered
at the Bates
Linear Accelerator
Center in
Middleton,
Massachusetts.
In addition
to faculty-supervised
research
at the Center,
there are
also opportunities
in detector
and instrumentation
development
as well
as in Accelerator
Physics.
The Laboratory
also has
programs
in experimental
nuclear
physics
at several
off-campus
accelerator
laboratories.
In high energy
physics, there
are major
projects in
the U.S. at
the Stanford
Linear Accelerator
Center (SLAC)
in Palo Alto,
California
and the Fermi
National Accelerator
Laboratory (FNAL)
in Batavia,
Illinois.
Abroad there
are experiments
at the European
Laboratory
for Particle
Physics in
Geneva,
Switzerland.
Much of the
preparation
for, and analysis
of, these
experiments
takes place
on the MIT
campus.

Funds" for
