Program description: Brookhaven National Laboratory's role for the DOE is to produce excellent science and advanced technology with the cooperation, support, and appropriate involvement of our scientific and local communities. The fundamental elements of the Laboratory's role in support of the four DOE strategic missions are the following:
To conceive, design, construct, and operate complex, leading edge, user-oriented facilities in response to the needs of the DOE and the international community of users.
To carry out basic and applied research in long-term, high-risk programs at the frontier of science.
To develop advanced technologies that address national needs and to transfer them to other organizations and to the commercial sector.
To disseminate technical knowledge, to educate new generations of scientists and engineers, to maintain technical capabilities in the nation's workforce, and to encourage scientific awareness in the general public.
Major Facilities:
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the world's newest and biggest particle accelerator for nuclear physics.
National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS), attracting more users annually than any other research machine in the world.
Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, home to Nobel Prize-winning research and many pivotal discoveries in high-energy and nuclear physics.
Accelerator Test Facility, the nation's proving ground for new concepts in generating, accelerating and monitoring particle beams.
Tandem Van de Graaff Facility, ion sources for hardware testing and supplier of ions for RHIC.
Major programs:
