A JINA Summer Science Program in 2010:
The Physics of Atomic Nuclei (PAN) Program at the NSCL/MSU
for High/Middle School science teachers from August 1-6 and High School
students from August 8-13, 2010.
The JINA's PIXE-PAN Summer Program at the
Institute for Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics in
the University of Notre Dame.
Run by MSU's Honors College, Mathematics,
Science, and Technology (MST) camp offers
intensive two-week courses to over 100 high-achieving
middle school students each summer. JINA is also funding scholarships for
interested students who demonstrate financial need.

JINA Research Highlights 2009. 
University of Notre Dame astronomer Peter Garnavich and a team
of collaborators have discovered a distant star that exploded
when its center became so hot that matter and anti-matter
particle pairs were created. The discovery was announced at
the 215th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in
Washington, D.C., with coauthors Peter Garnavich and the ESSENCE
collaboration. Details.
Richard H. Cyburt discusses unstable relic particles on ScienceWatch.com.
He is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Joint
Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics of the NSCL at Michigan State University in East
Lansing, Michigan. Dr. Cyburt is the lead author of the second-most-cited
paper listed in the Research Front Map titled, "The Big Bang,"
from Top Topics for April 2009 from the field of Space Science.

The NSF has approved the S4 funding for the development of
an underground accelerator facility at DUSEL. The main goal
of the facility is the measurement of low energy reaction
cross sections of relevance for stellar nucleosynthesis processes.
The Dakota Ion Accelerators for Nuclear Astrophysics DIANA
will consist of two accelerators to cover a broader energy
range than presently possible at the LUNA facility at the
Gran Sasso underground laboratory in Italy. The figure shows
a conceptual design of the DIANA facility. (Click
