Nuclear Chemistry

At Stony Brook, the nuclear chemistry program involves the exploration of nuclear matter's intricate landscapes, from protons and atomic nuclei to the dense baryonic matter within neutron stars and the primordial quark-gluon plasma that filled the early Universe. Our investigations thrive on international teamwork through major experiments like STAR at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and ATLAS at CERN. Employing advanced statistical methods and models, vast datasets are analyzed to unveil the secrets of the cosmos. Faculty members are actively preparing for groundbreaking research opportunities at the soon-to-be-built Electron-Ion Collider at BNL, setting the stage for further discoveries in nuclear chemistry.
