Nuclear physicists are scientists who specialize in the study of atomic nuclei, their interactions, and the fundamental forces that govern them. This field of study falls under the broader discipline of physics, specifically focused on understanding the components, structure, behavior, and properties of atomic nuclei. Key areas of interest for nuclear physicists include: 1. **Nuclear Structure**: Investigating the arrangement of protons and neutrons within the nucleus and how this arrangement affects nuclear stability and reactions.
