The physics chapter of the NUSEL-Homestake Reference Design Science Book describes the physics motivation for building a deep underground science and engineering laboratory. It includes discussions of outstanding problems in neutrino physics and astrophysics (including long-baseline probes of theta-13 and CP violation, solar and atmospheric neutrinos, and double beta decay), dark matter, nucleon decay, nuclear astrophysics with underground detectors, and neutrinos as a probe of supernovae.
