  • EIC Center at Jefferson Lab

    The Electron-Ion Collider Center at Jefferson Lab (EIC2@JLab) is an organization to advance and promote the science program at a future electron-ion collider (EIC) facility. Particular emphasis is on the close connection of EIC science to the current Jefferson Lab 12 GeV CEBAF science program.   

    "EIC Center"At the heart of the atom are protons and neutrons. The characteristics and interactions of neutrons and protons, singly and collectively in the nuclei are responsible for how our cosmos developed and how our sun provides the heat that sustains the eco-system on earth. 

    While we have known for 50 years that protons and neutrons are made of quarks and gluons (represented in the figure to the left as spheres with arrows and springs, respectively), we are just beginning to learn how to image the structure and interactions inside protons and neutrons that are at the femto-scale, a million times smaller than the nano-scale of modern micro-electronics.

    Jefferson Lab has been at the forefront of this research; the current 12 GeV CEBAF program at JLab is world-leading in this science. The proposed Electron-Ion Collider will be the ultimate instrument for this new science: nuclear femtography.

    • Walt Akers, Air Force and Army Reserves, 1982-1995

      Salute to Veterans with Walt Akers, U.S. Air Force / Army Reserves

      "Relative to my work in the military and my work at Jefferson Lab, adaptability remains the single most important skill," said Akers."Being able to rapidly modify your plans to meet emerging requirements is a critical capability."

       

      Q&A with Walt Akers, Air Force / Army Reserves

      What did you do for the military?
      In the Air Force, I was a Computing and Communications Specialist. In the Army Reserve, I was an Infantry Drill Sergeant.

      What made you decide to join the military?
      Living in a very small, very rural community, there was a distinct lack of prospects. The military offered an opportunity for professional and educational development.

      Why did you choose the branch of service that you did?
      My selection of the Air Force was specifically driven by a desire for training and experience in technical fields. Computing at the time was only beginning to emerge from existing as extremely large installations to fitting on the desktop. There was no internet, large data was primarily on tapes, and serial communications between systems was slow, tedious and lacked well-defined standards. In short, the environment was ripe with the opportunity for individuals to grow along with the technology.

      My work as an Army Drill Sergeant stemmed from a desire to work with and train young people as they were transitioning from civilian life to the rigors of the military. Far from the harsh and draconian persona that most people attribute to that job, most Drill Sergeant are passionate about helping young people to develop untapped potential that will be essential to their success in both the office and in hostile environments.

      What was your favorite part of the job?
      Working with new and experimental technologies as they first appeared.

      What was your most interesting/favorite deployment or duty station and why?
      My entire career with the Air Force was spent in a computer room in the basement of the Pentagon. As you might imagine, the facility had its own idiosyncrasies. Still, during the 1980's the Pentagon was on the cutting edge of technology. In addition to the work that our unit was doing, the new offices of the Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars) were built directly across the hall and there was an abundance of weird and exciting development happening there.

      What skills did you develop that you use now after your military career?
      Relative to my work in the military and my work at Jefferson Lab, adaptability remains the single most important skill. With changes in the experimental schedule, resource needs and funding profiles, being able to rapidly modify your plans to meet emerging requirements is a critical capability.

      The regional home of Jefferson Lab, Hampton Roads, has a rich military history. Located in Southeastern Virginia, the region is currently home to more than 80,000 men and women in uniform, representing every branch of the armed forces. Throughout November 2018, Jefferson Lab is celebrating the region's military ties by highlighting some of our veteran employees who have served in the armed forces and who continue to serve their nation by supporting the research efforts carried out at the laboratory.
