  • Nuclear Physics Comparative Review
    Nuclear Physics Comparative Research Review for the U. S. Department of Energy October 31, 2013 1. Introduction From the middle of May through the end of June of 2013, the Nuclear Physics (NP) Comparative Research Review (CRR) was carried out under the initiative of the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE). The research efforts of 170 university groups and 30 national laboratory groups were assessed on the basis of equally-weighted evaluation criteria. The DOE funding supports approximately 92% of the research in the field of nuclear physics in the U.S., whereas the remainder is mostly supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). As of today, nuclear physics research, which is our main review topic, receives approximately $162M in support, whereas the total amount of DOE funds, including operation budgets for the facilities for nuclear physics, is approximately $519M. The DOE is responsible for the strategic planning of the nuclear physics programs in the U.S. which are DOE-supported. It has to identify scientific opportunities for discoveries and advancements, and it also has to build and operate forefront facilities to allow for these opportunities. In addition, it has to develop and support a research community that produces a significant outcome. The results of the NP CRR will help optimize the research portfolio and enable the DOE to work with other agencies to optimize usage of U.S. resources. The mission of the review panels was to assess the following for each research group: 1. Significance and merit of the group’s research, in the context of present and emerging research directions within nuclear physics; 2.
