The Physics Division at Argonne National Laboratory performs basic research in nuclear and atomic physics. The major emphasis of the current experimental nuclear physics research is in heavy-ion physics, centered around the ATLAS facility with its new injector providing intense, energetic ion beams over the full mass range up to uranium. ATLAS is a designated National User Facility and is based on superconducting radio-frequency technology developed in the Physics Division. A small program continues in accelerator development. In addition, the Division has a strong program in medium-energy nuclear physics carried out at a variety of major national and international facilities. The nuclear theory research in the division spans a wide range of interests including nuclear dynamics with subnucleonic degrees of freedom, dynamics of man-nucleon systems, nuclear structure, and heavy-ion interactions. This research makes contact with experimental research programs in intermediate-energy and heavy-ion physics, both within the Division and on the national and international scale. The Atomic Physics program is focused primarily on atomic-structure measurements of highly-stripped ions at ATLAS and on synchrotron-based atomic physics. The synchrotron-based atomic physics program, initially performed at the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven, is now moving to the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne, a third-generation 7-GeV light source which became operational recently.
