The goal of the Bay Area Nuclear Data Group is to address the data needs of the basic and applied nuclear science community while training the next generation of nuclear scientists and engineers in the process. We do this through a combination of experimental and evaluation activities. Most of our experimental work takes place at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 88-Inch Cyclotron or at the Nuclear Technology Innovation Laboratory within the UC Berkeley Department of Nuclear Engineering
The Bay Area Nuclear Data Group works closely with the Bay Area Neutron Group (BANG) led by Bethany Goldblum and the Nuclear Science and Security Consortium (NSSC) on a wide variety of nuclear data, security, and education-related efforts.
Our research areas include:
- Fission Evaluation and Experiment
- Isotope Production Cross Section Measurement and Modeling
- Neutron Scattering Evaluation
- The development of python Toolkits Neutron Capture and
- -ray+Xray coincident decay data analysis.
- Neutron Scattering Measurement using GENESIS
- Nuclear Structure Evaluation for ENSDF
- Photon Strength Function and Nuclear Level Density
- Nuclear Data Coordination Activities
- Thermal Neutron Capture
- Global Heavy Charged-Particle Decay Database
- Nuclear Physics in Laser-Driven Plasmas
