Reed for math/physics?

However one may characterize nuclear research reactors, well-equipped physics facilities will offer undergraduates access to specialized, research-grade instrumentation, rather than to just teaching laboratories.

This comment makes no sense, and I studied physics for 10 years. Sounds like AI.

Some labs are equipped with more-or-less basic instrumentation through which students learn the techniques of physical experimentation. Other labs may operate with instrumentation sufficient to advance the field of physics itself. As an example, there's a qualitative difference between, say, a bench-top100 MHz NMR spectrometer and a 500 MHz research-grade apparatus.

You learn instrumentation within the lab that you join. This doesn’t sound like a real problem. It’s not like physics departments have tokamaks sitting around- you learn on the job. I wouldn’t take this as a serious concern.

How is Reed for astrophysics/particle physics?

One of my DD's good friends from hs is at Reed studying Physics and is having a great time!

Reed lacks the astronomical tradition of colleges with long-established observatories. Reed also does not offer a geosciences program, which would be important for the study of planetary science. Nonetheless, Reed would offer the necessary foundation in physics and mathematics for a student who is interested in modern-day astrophysics and cosmology.

Geoscience and Astro are separate fields and really have little collaboration.

Students interested in astrophysics and cosmology may be interested in planetary science as well. And the methods and insights of geosciences programs are highly relevant to planetary science.

Then join a research lab in the summer? The information you actually need is physics, not the planetary geochemistry, which is mostly steered by your research interest and maybe one grad course. Cosmological research mostly doesn't involve much planetary composition research, it involves foundational physics. Theoretical physics is the gateway to exploring these research fields. Much of cosmology deals with dark matter candidacy.

The question of dark energy tends to be more accessible to observational cosmologists. Inquiry into dark matter falls more within the realm of experimental and particle physics.

So sounds like you’re saying Reed would be good for someone interested in dark matter, or no?

You don’t think particle physics has a connection to people who observe the early universe?

Some researchers entire career is the belief that understanding fundamental particles makes most sense through cosmological inquiry over other methods.

Yes, absolutely.

The early universe, at least with respect to electromagnetic information, is practically and theoretically inaccessible to observational cosmologists. Inquiry into this stage, then, relies predominately on theoretical models and particle collider experimentation.
