The Edwards Accelerator Laboratory at Ohio University is the hub for a vibrant program in low energy nuclear physics. Research performed with the labs 4.5MV tandem accelerator spans a variety of topics, including nuclear astrophysics, nuclear structure, nuclear energy, homeland security, and materials science. The Edwards Lab hosts a variety of capabilities, including unique features such as the beam swinger with neutron time-of-flight tunnel and the integrated condensed matter physics facility, enabling experiments to be performed with low-to-medium mass stable ion beams using charged-particle, gamma, and neutron spectroscopy. This article provides an overview of the current and near-future research program in low energy nuclear physics at Ohio University, including a brief discussion of the present and planned technical capabilities.
