Spinlab is Open for Business
Our group applies a variety of atomic, molecular, & optical physics techniques to answer fundamental questions in nuclear and particle physics. Our passion is creating, manipulating, and detecting spin-polarized nuclei. Our long terms goals are to: We are a part of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory/Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (NSCL/FRIB) and the Department…
