Overview of UK Nuclear Physics Paul Nolan

Structure of how nuclear physics is organised in the UK Nuclear Physics funding in the UK Numbers to indicate: the size of the community their locations physics topics on which they work Outline

Research coverage: Research that is funded by the STFC Nuclear Physics grants panel Areas are: Nuclear Structure Nuclear Astrophysics Hadron Physics Strongly interacting matter Theory STFC also funds Instrumentation, Applications and Outreach Outline

No accelerator facilities in the UK Majority of work takes place within National and International collaborations Expertise in developing and providing instrumentation for international collaborations Funding mechanisms (and bodies) have changed a number of times in last 25 years, move to STFC in 2008 Basic UK facts

There are 50 academic/faculty staff carrying out nuclear physics research Number has been stable for a few years All (except 3 at STFC Daresbury) are University funded Rutherford (5 year) Fellowships are available from STFC on a competitive basis There are 60 Research and Professional staff supporting the academic staff There are 90 Research students working with the academic staff Size of UK Community

Comparisons Source IOP review 2012 UK Academic staff numbers Nuclear Physics : Particle Physics : Astronomy 146 UK Annual budget Nuclear Physics Research £5 -7 M, last 2-3 years NP Studentships/Fellowships £1.1M

Glasgow Edinburgh UWS York Manchester Liverpool Daresbury Birmingham Surrey Brighton Locations of Research groups

Funding sources Project grants – larger equipment projects (3-5 years) NUSTAR, AGATA, PANDA Others currently in review R&D grants (1-2 years) Equipment development (~£500k) Applications grants (1-3 years) Funding for people and equipment for range of topics Research students – 3.5 year positions Funding for fees and stipend - STFC, Universities, self funding …. Consolidated grants – currently 4 years – one application date Exploitation, travel, small equipment, PDRAs, academic time

Theme areas studied by academic staff - ALL

Theme areas studied by academic staff - Physics areas only
