Date
Sat, Oct 1, 2016 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Location
Lecture Hall 1410, John S. Toll Physics Building

Description

Speaker: Tom Cohen
What does a nuclear physicist actually do?
This talk will focus on some of the big issues driving modern research in nuclear physics.

Illustrative examples will be taken from nuclear astrophysics, the physics of nuclear matter under extremes of temperature, the structure of nuclei and the use of nuclear physics as a laboratory to probe fundamental symmetries.

The talk will emphasize what nuclear physicists--both experimentalists and theorists--actually do.
