Founded in 1997, the Egyptian
Nuclear Physics Association ,a non governmental not-for-profit
organization, is to offer scientific and cultural services in the
field of Nuclear Physics and Related
Activities, namely:
- to follow scientific progress in the field of
nuclear physics and related activities, and to enhance the
national knowledge in this field.
- to publish a scientific periodical for research
and development under the title:
Journal of
Nuclear and Radiation Physics
- to suggest and provide
services and consultation in its field of activity (FOA).
- adoption of scientific
terminology and translation of scientific material into Arabic.
- to issue a popular
scientific magazine in Arabic.
- issuing of non periodic
publications in Association's FOA.
- to establish a national data
base in nuclear physics and related activities.
- conducting conferences,
seminars, symposia, workshops, training courses,
exhibitions, cultural events, and so forth in Association's FOA.
- to enhance cooperation
between Arab scientists interested in Association's activities
aiming to establish
Pan-Arab Nuclear
Physics Association.
- to establish regional and
international contacts and cooperation with similar
organizations.
Activities
Scientific Publications:
One of the major activities
of ENPA is to publish its scientific periodical for research and
development under the title "Journal of
Nuclear and Radiation Physics (JNRP)". According to its aim and scope, JNRP is a
refereed journal devoted to the publication of new and
significant research in all fields of nuclear and radiation
physics including particle physics, high energy physics, nuclear
models and structure, nuclear reactions and spectroscopy,
neutron and reactor physics, environmental radiation physics,
medical radiation physics, radiation measurement and dosimetry,
and other related topics. JNRP has its editorial board along
with a distinguished team of national and international
scientific advisors. It accepts original, high quality research,
review papers, and rapid research communications. Special issues
for nuclear and radiation physics conferences are possible.
Distribution and readership of JNRP are worldwide.The journal
1st volume appeared on May 2006 and continues regular edition
from that time on.
Conferences:
Other major activity of
ENPA is to organize Nuclear and
Particle Physics Conference (NUPPAC). The
NUPPAC conference is a biennial event dedicated to the
progress in experimental and theoretical nuclear and particle
physics, and to follow the evolution of the recent
developments in these subjects. ENPA had organized such
conferences regularly since 1997:
- NUPPAC'

ENPA is planning to
organize its 14th Conference on Nuclear and Particle
Physics (NUPPAC' 26) 19-22 Sep 2026 in Sahl
Hasheesh .
Other activity of ENPA is
connected with the increasing concern towards environmental
problems, and the role physics can do in monitoring, analysing,
and understanding environmental phenomena. From this perspective
ENPA had organized a series of
Environmental Physics Conferences:
- EPC' 04
in
El-Minya
24-28 Feb. 2004
- EPC' 06
in Alexandria
18-22 Feb. 2006
