Nuclear, Particle and Plasma Physics’

From the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to nuclear power stations, nuclear and particle physics’ are changing the face of the modern world. The two are intrinsically linked via quantum mechanics, but that requires a section to itself! Furthermore, plasma physics is an underpinning of the future of research into nuclear fusion as well as being an important aid to novel particle accelerator physics.
