About Us
Nuclear physics is the study of the properties and interactions of nuclei and their constituents. It extends to interdisciplinary studies of nuclear phenomena in the cosmos and to the use of nuclear properties to probe fundamental forces. It includes also the development of detectors, instrumentation, and new technologies in support of these studies. The Division of Nuclear Physics (DNP) has a membership of over 200 nuclear physicists across Canada, and provides a voice for the Canadian nuclear physics community.
Our Mission/Activities
