Nuclear and Elementary Particle Astrophysics

所开展的研究工作将涉及粒子物理、核物理和天体物理的各个方面。这个界面的一般领域包括宇宙学、超新星物理学和宇宙射线物理学。特别的长期项目包括改进大爆炸核合成约束和预测，包括轻元素演化的研究，夸克-强子跃迁的研究，核年代学，SN 1987 A光下的超新星中微子物理学，粒子物理模型与星系和结构形成的相互作用的研究，以及超高能量宇宙射线谱对物理和天体物理的影响。

The research efforts to be carried out will involve various aspects at the interface of particle physics, nuclear physics and astrophysics. General areas of this interface include cosmology, supernova physics and cosmic ray physics. Particular long term projects include refinement of Big Bang nucleosynthesis constraints and predictions, including studies of light element evolution, studies of the quark-hadron transition, nucleochronology, supernova neutrino physics in the light of SN 1987 A, studies of the interplay of particle physics models with galaxy and structure formation,m and implications of the ultra high energy cosmic ray spectrum on physics and astrophysics.
