Lab Tours
The University of Washington supports a rich research community in physics spanning topics from 2D materials to dark matter. Please join us for lab tours before dinner on Friday to learn more.
Lab tours will occur on Friday Jan 20 from 3-5pm.
There will be tours in two separate locations - the Physics and Astronomy Building (PAB) and the Center for Experimental Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics (CENPA) located in the North Physics Lab (NPL). PAB labs will run as an "open house" from 3-5pm. Please see the table of participating labs and room numbers below and go to whichever of the labs you choose during this time. CENPA will run two consecutive ~45 minute tours.
Guided groups will be leaving to walk to CENPA from the peanut outside PAB at 3:00 pm and 4:00 pm.
If you would like to come on a CENPA lab tour, please be ready at the peanut at those times. You are also welcome to walk to CENPA yourself through campus or by taking the Burke-Gilman bike trail, just please arrive at CNEPA by 3:20 pm or 4:20 pm respectively. After the first tour, a volunteer will be there to take you back to PAB and after the second a volunteer will be there to take you to the HUB for dinner/check-in.
PAB Labs
CENPA
The Center for Experimental Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics (CENPA), is a DOE-funded Center of Excellence laboratory and Service Center located at the University of Washington Seattle campus. CENPA supports a broad program of experimental physics research on-site and afar in fundamental symmetries, neutrinos, muons, axions, and non-Newtonian gravitation. Below are the locations that will be covered in the tour:
