At the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL), graduate students from Duke University, North Carolina Central University, North Carolina State University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill perform collaborative research at the frontiers of nuclear physics. There are approximately 60 graduate students conducting research projects on a wide variety of topics that include nuclear astrophysics, fundamental symmetries, neutrino physics, weak interactions, few-nucleon, sub-nucleon, and many-body systems, and applications of nuclear physics to address current needs of the society.
The American Physical Society Division of Nuclear Physics (DNP) has assembled a brochure with descriptions of all U.S. graduate programs, including Duke, UNC, and NCSU, that offer study in nuclear physics. Details about stipends, insurance, family leave policies, and more are included.
