1 Nature’s Recipe for Nuclear Matter Atoms for Peace + 50 Conference October 22, 2003 James Symons Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

2 Themes in 2003 Neutrino Properties Nuclear Astrophysics Nuclear Matter Understanding Quark Confinement Nuclear Structure

3 Neutrino Properties - The nucleus as laboratory for fundamental studies

4 1964: Bahcall and Davis propose an experiment to detect solar Neutrinos But the experiment only detects neutrinos at one third of the expected rate from the ssm!

5 Situation in 1990 3 neutrino species Mass < 1eV Solar neutrino problem

6 Why Kamioka? KamLAND 80% of flux from baselines 140 to 210 km Kashiwazaki Takahama Ohi

7 National Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory
