... To meet this need, the NNSA established the Stewardship Science Graduate Fellowship program in the areas of high-energy-density physics, materials under extreme conditions, and low-energy nuclear science. In addition to receiving stipends and tuition remission, all fellows are required to spend at least 3 months in residence at one of the NNSA laboratories for a practicum.

... of americium-240 required to measure fission probabilities, experiments will be performed at the LANL Neutron Science Center, where he has already spent several months as part of his practicum. Paul also performs fundamental low-energy nuclear physics research on the heaviest elements, such as the yet unnamed element-114.

... The detection of neutrons and understanding reactions induced by neutrons and protons are important for basic nuclear structure and astrophysics, as well as for applications in home FIGURE FEL 3  Graduate student Nicole Fields is developing new systems to detect weakly interacting particles.

... Patrick spent a summer at LLNL helping to develop the neutron time projection chamber, which can be applied to locate sources of special nuclear materials that emit neutrons.
