medium energy physics

Medium energy physics studies particles like protons and neutrons with energies high enough to explore their internal structures and interactions but not so high as to produce new particles extensively. It bridges the gap between low-energy nuclear physics and high-energy particle physics. Researchers use these energies to understand the fundamental forces and constituents of matter, helping us learn how atomic nuclei behave and revealing insights into the fundamental building blocks of the universe. This field supports advancements in nuclear technology, medical applications, and understanding cosmic phenomena.
