TEDF

 

The Project

The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science with strong support from the City of Newport News and the Commonwealth of Virginia. As a user facility for scientists worldwide, its primary mission is to conduct basic research of the atom's nucleus at the quark level.

Jefferson Lab maintains a large-scale use facility with advanced instrumentation to support four core competencies in support of the Office of Science's mission: nuclear physics, accelerator science, and applied nuclear science and technology.

To continue supporting these core competencies into the future, JLab is planning new and upgraded work and research space.  The Technology and Engineering Development Facility (TEDF) project will modernize the existing Test Lab and provide additional space for the Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) Institute, and provide office and technical space for engineering groups. The objective is to provide a 70,000-square-foot Technology and Engineering Development (TED) building, a 30,000-square-foot addition to the Test Lab and modernize the 96,000-square-foot Test Lab. The TED and Modernized Test Lab and addition will be designed to achieve Leadership in Energy and Efficiency Design (LEED) Gold Certification.

The Science

The Technology and Engineering Development Facility will provide state-of-the-art facilities for research in the areas of nuclear physics, accelerator science, applied nuclear science and technology, and advanced instrumentation. Research programs affected by this acquisition include the following:

Nuclear Physics-
Experimental hall programs
CEBAF nuclear physics
Facility For Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB)
Electron - Ion collider development and physics support

High Energy Physics
Project X - proton driver
International Linear Collider-
Muon collider

Basic Energy Sciences-
SNS upgrade
21st Century light sources - large scale
Compact light sources
ONR INP

The TEDF Project will co-locate engineering efforts supporting SRF, accelerator and physics research to enhance collaboration. Design emphasis will be on improved process flow and flexibility to respond to future mission changes
