Physics Division Strategic Plan: Science Drivers

The Physics Division Science Drivers articulate the overarching scientific objectives that we seek to address and that form the lifeblood of our Division. While many physics subfields are represented in the Physics Division’s scientific portfolio, we strive to maintain or achieve excellence and international leadership in only a few areas. While diversity of science and engineering efforts is strongly supported and provides the fertile soil for innovation, there are dominating areas in which we must excel to accomplish our mission that is stated as: “We design, execute and analyze experiments that challenge, improve and validate our understanding of fundamental physics underpinning LANL’s national security mission.”
