High Energy Physics

High Energy Physics (HEP) explores what the world is made of and how it works at the smallest and largest scales, seeking new discoveries from the tiniest particles to the outer reaches of space.


      Nuclear Physics

      Improving our understanding of the building blocks of matter; discovering the origins of nuclei; and identifying the forces that transform matter.


            Basic Energy Sciences

            Fundamental research to understand, predict, and ultimately control matter and energy at the electronic, atomic, and molecular levels.


                  Biological and Environmental Research

                  Data on biological, biogeochemical, and physical processes that span from molecular and genomics-controlled scales to the regional and global scales that govern changes in watershed dynamics, climate, and the earth system.


                      Advanced Scientific Computing Research

                      Discovery, development, and deployment of computational and networking capability to analyze, model, simulate and predict complex phenomena.


                          Fusion Energy Sciences

                          Confined plasma and fusion experiments as well as materials and systems enabling control of plasmas.
