Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences Government Performance and Results Act FY 2001 Report Introducing the “Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Performance Report for FY 2001” It is with considerable pleasure that the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) of the National Science Foundation presents its FY 2001 GPRA Performance Report. In this Report we offer a small sample of examples of support for research and education fulfilling the Outcome Goals of the National Science Foundation. The broad portfolio of research and educational activities supported by the Directorate has resulted in a number of remarkable discoveries that have attracted the attention of the press and the public. These discoveries are only, of course, small pieces of a puzzle ultimately leading to development of a fuller, more accurate understanding of the world and universe we inhabit. Progress in the mathematical and physical sciences is, of course, linked to other disciplines, and there are many examples of work jointly supported with other NSF Directorates of other agencies. In addition, the development of technology and progress in all fields of research are closely related, We wish to emphasize, however, that in all the research highlighted here, the education of future citizens and future scientists is becoming an integral component. The Directorate supports thousands of graduate students and postdoctoral students in the physical sciences. These individuals will form a major portion of the leadership of the physical sciences community in the coming decades. We are committed to making the results of the research we support available and understandable to the general public. We are also attempting to increase the involvement of our community with teachers and with students in grades K-12. It is essential that our community become involved in improving the mathematical and science skills of all Americans. The report gives a number of examples of this type of activity. I’m sure you’ll agree this Report illustrates that MPS is not only alive and well, but that the research it is supporting is dramatic and forward-looking. I encourage you to contact us should you require further information on any aspect of the material contained within the Report. Robert A.

Key Decisions The ExCom voted to move $100k of operating funds to an endowment for a new award. The ExCom voted that a new name (not Otto Laporte) should be chosen for this award. In the coming year, the Award committee (currently the Fluid Dynamics Prize committee) should establish the award criteria, making sure to distinguish the criteria from those associated with the Batchelor prize. The committee should suggest appropriate wording for the award application and make a recommendation on the naming of the award. The ExCom voted to move Newsletter publication to the first weeks of June and December each year. The ExCom voted to continue the Ad Hoc Committee on Media and Public Relations for two more years (through 2010). The ExCom voted that $15,000 per year in 2009 and 2010 be allocated for Media and Public Relations activities. Most of these funds would be applied toward continuing to use AIP media services in support of news releases and Virtual Pressroom activities related to the annual DFD meeting. Meeting Discussion 1.

    Nuclear Science—A Guide to the Nuclear Science Wall Chart ©2018 Contemporary Physics Education Project (CPEP) Appendix E Nobel Prizes in Nuclear Science Many Nobel Prizes have been awarded for nuclear research and instrumentation. The field has spun off: particle physics, nuclear astrophysics, nuclear power reactors, nuclear medicine, and nuclear weapons. Understanding how the nucleus works and applying that knowledge to technology has been one of the most significant accomplishments of twentieth century scientific research. Each prize was awarded for physics unless otherwise noted.
