April 10, 2023 / Berkeley Lab Nuclear Science Division ~ In March 2023, scientists from NSD’s Applied Nuclear Physics (ANP) program conducted handheld gamma-ray surveys of the Savannah River wetlands in order to map the intensity and spatial distribution of radioactive contaminants. Using ANP’s Scene Data Fusion (SDF) radiological mapping technology, the team identified several uraniumRead More

April 5, 2023 / Berkeley Lab Nuclear Science Division ~ In 2021, a collaboration of NSD scientists from the Applied Nuclear Physics, Low-Energy Nuclear Physics, and the 88” Cyclotron programs received funding through a DOE Office of Science FOA for “Data Analytics for Autonomous Optimization and Control of Accelerators and Detectors” to explore application of machineRead More

April 3, 2023 / Berkeley Lab Nuclear Science Division ~ In a recent Physical Review Letters article, Xin-Nian Wang from NSD’s Nuclear Theory program and his collaborators explored the 3D structure of the jet-induced Mach cone excitation in Pb+Pb collisions at LHC through theoretical simulations of the jet transport inside a hydrodynamically expanding QGP. They found thatRead More

March 28, 2023 / Berkeley Lab Elements ~ Mechanical engineer Jessica Aguilar is a Dallas native, who worked in the defense, biosciences, and semiconductor industries before joining Berkeley Lab’s Engineering Division six-and-a-half years ago as a manufacturing and procurement coordinator. “Before I applied, I did some research and learned that Berkeley Lab builds one-of-a-kind science instruments,Read More
