The Nuclear Data Program at Argonne National Laboratory

The Nuclear Data Research Program at Argonne National Laboratory includes a variety of scientific activities carried out within the broader framework of the Coordinated Work Plan of the U.S. Nuclear Data Program. A significant portion of the effort is devoted to the compilation and evaluation of existing nuclear structure and decay, and nuclear reaction data. Specialized compilations and evaluations of specific nuclear structure and decay properties, such as those associated with decays of nuclear isomers and nuclei far from the line of stability, are also undertaken. Some experimental measurements, intended to improve the quality of the existing databases in specific areas, or to fill gaps as needed to generate reliable evaluations, are also performed.  The program also focuses on the manner in which nuclear data are used in science and technology, and on development of new applications. There is a growing commitment to compiling and evaluating data from measurements aimed at studying heavy and super-heavy nuclei and RIA experiments, as well as data for various neutron and charged-particle induced nuclear reactions that are important in nuclear astrophysics as well as in a variety of applications related to nuclear energy production and national security.

The activities performed under the Argonne National Laboratory Nuclear Data Research Program are supported by the Division of Nuclear Physics, Office of Science, U.S. Department of Energy, under contract number W-31-109-Eng-38. Argonne National Laboratory is operated by the University of Chicago for the U.S. Department of Energy.
