MAL has been accepted into the Association for Research at University Nuclear Accelerators (ARUNA), being one of only three undergraduate research facilities in the association.

ARUNA’s mission is three-fold:

(1) Maximize and optimize the use of all nuclear accelerator facilities at universities in the U.S.

(2) Increase the opportunities for education of the science- and technology-literate work force at these facilities.

(3) Coordinate the scientific program at these facilities and place it in the context of the national science endeavor.
