The PANDA group, led by Karl van Bibber and Lee Bernstein is an applied nuclear science group that conducts experiments and data evaluation for basic science and applications in nuclear engineering, geochronology, medicine and national security. Primary facilities for our experimental work are the High Flux Neutron Generator (HFNG) for experiments with 2.5 MeV neutrons, and the 88″ Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). We develop improved plasma beam-based neutron sources, and participate in accelerator science and technology research at LBNL and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. A major activity of the group is the HAYSTAC microwave cavity dark matter axion search sited at Yale, for which Berkeley provides innovative microwave resonators.
