For more than five decades, the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center has provided the scientific underpinnings in nuclear physics and material science needed to ensure the safety and surety of the nuclear stockpile. The facility also provides the scientific community with intense sources of neutrons and protons to perform experiments that support civilian research and the production of medical and research isotopes.
Here is an overview of LANSCE’s five state-of-the-art experimental facilities that enable this diversity of work. ★
