Serving the Jefferson Lab User Community
The Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility, or CEBAF, is a scientific user facility that is open for research to scientists and students worldwide. We welcome researchers in nuclear physics, accelerator science and related fields to join us in our mission to explore the building blocks of matter and discover technologies that enable our research.
CEBAF has drawn more than 1,600 scientist users to Jefferson Lab in fiscal year 2024, including staff scientists, professors, researchers, postdocs and undergraduate and graduate students working on a variety of research projects in computation, data analysis, experiment preparation and related activities in Newport News, VA.
Whether you are a new student or a veteran scientist, we hope these pages provide you the information you need to further your research at Jefferson Lab.
