  1. Nature’s Recipe for Nuclear Matter Atoms for Peace + 50 Conference October 22, 2003 James Symons Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

  2. Themes in 2003 Neutrino Properties Nuclear Astrophysics Nuclear Matter Understanding Quark Confinement Nuclear Structure

  3. Neutrino Properties - The nucleus as laboratory for fundamental studies

  4. 1964: Bahcall and Davis propose an experiment to detect solar Neutrinos But the experiment only detects neutrinos at one third of the expected rate from the ssm!

  5. Situation in 1990 3 neutrino species Mass < 1eV Solar neutrino problem

  6. Kashiwazaki Takahama Ohi Why Kamioka? KamLAND 80% of flux from baselines 140 to 210 km

  7. National Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory

  8. Nuclear Physics and the Universe

  9. Phase Diagram of Nuclear Matter Temperature Density

  10. Understanding Quark Confinement Jefferson Lab - CEBAF

  11. Nuclear Structure

  12. Rare Isotope Accelerator
