Nuclear Physics

Research Interests

The Nuclear Science Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame is home to three nuclear particle accelerators which are used to conduct experiments over a wide range of topics in experimental nuclear physics. As Technical Director for the Nuclear Science Laboratory, Prof. Lamm's research interests have necessarily centered on those issues that most fundamentally affect the effective operation of the laboratory, such as ion source development, the development of a computer-based control system for operating the accelerators and the ion sources, the development of pulsed and bunched ion beams, and the development of the radioactive ion beam facility. He also serves as a general experimental liaison for outside users of the laboratory as well as contributing to the ongoing experimental efforts of the Nuclear Physics faculty.
