Ecological diversity in computing and nuclear technology research

This study addresses various characteristics of computing and nuclear technology research through a scientometric analysis of the literature related to the IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium, spanning approximately three decades from the LEP and Tevatron era to the LHC era. It analyzes technological research pertaining to computing and instrumentation in nuclear and particle physics, astrophysics and medical physics, and compares the evolution of some diversity parameters within intechnological and fundamental physics research in these fields.
