Physics of Atomic Nuclei (PAN) is a free week-long program for U.S. high school students, exploring atomic nuclei's fundamentals and their connections to astrophysics and cosmology, inspiring future scientists.
During PAN, participants engage in hands-on activities led by FRIB faculty, staff, and students, exploring atomic nuclei and their connections to astrophysics. PAN is sponsored by FRIB, which is a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC), supporting the mission of the DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics.
PAN offers:
- Insight into research at a top rare-isotope laboratory.
- Introductions to astrophysics, precision measurement, and nuclear science.
- Opportunities to conduct nuclear physics experiments.
- Networking with researchers on diverse scientific questions.
- Exploration of various career opportunities in science.
- Experience of college life.
- Free room and board provided on campus, if needed.
