Nuclear Physics at ORNL: Past, Present, and Future

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

ORNL has not only a very illustrious history in Nuclear Physics, but also a growing current research portfolio that is both increasing diverse and highly compelling. Beginning with the HRIBF ISOL facility, I will briefly touch on highlights of past in-house research accomplishments, before discussing the recent transition to research programs at user facilities and other laboratories, and the development of new in-house programs. Lastly, I will present a look forward to a future full of extremely exciting new projects and ground-breaking experiments, including the neutrinoless double beta decay experiment LEGEND-1000.
