Duke University is an institutional member of the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL), a Department of Energy (DOE) Center of Excellence in nuclear physics research. The Center operates three DOE-funded particle accelerator facilities on the campus of Duke university: (1) the High-Intensity Gamma-ray Source at the Duke Free Electron Laser Laboratory, (2) the Laboratory for Experimental Nuclear Physics, and (3) the tandem accelerator laboratory. These facilities have substantial inventories of particle detectors and signal-processing electronics that are used in carrying out experimental nuclear-physics research.

• Applicants for admission are normally expected to have completed an undergraduate degree with a major in physics, or in a related field with a strong concentration in physics by the time they are admitted to the graduate program.
• Applicants assumed have this undergraduate courses:
  1. general physics
  2. mechanics (at the level of Marion)
  3. electromagnetism (at the level of Griffiths)
  4. optics (e.g., Hecht/Zajac)
  5. modern physics (e.g., Bernstein, Fishbane, and Gasiorowicz)
  6. quantum mechanics (at the level of Griffiths)
  7. thermodynamics (at the level of Reif)

in addition to appropriate mathematical training (i.e., linear algebra plus tools at the level of Hildebrand). It is expected that the applicant’s grade average in physics and mathematics will be at least “B”. Students lacking one or more of the important undergraduate courses will be asked to remedy this deficiency by self-study or by enrolling in the corresponding courses at Duke.
