The Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics was established at Ohio University in 1991 to bring coherence to the several successful but diverse nuclear and particle physics activities taking place within the Department of Physics and Astronomy, and to coordinate the activities of both theoretical and experimental subatomic physics.

The Institute is a perfect vehicle for promoting and supporting research in theoretical and experimental subatomic physics, pro-actively educating graduate and undergraduate students in these fields of study, sponsoring joint seminars, hosting visiting scientists, and providing matching funds for new initiatives undertaken with federal agencies and national laboratories.

With the backing of the INPP, the Department of Physics and Astronomy has extended its graduate program to include M.S. and Ph.D. degrees based on research in Applied Nuclear Physics. More information is available here.

More information about our activities is available in the INPP 5-Year Report (March 2007).
