  • Visitors Program

    The US Electron Ion Collider (EIC) has received the endorsement of the National Academy of Sciences committee last year – an important milestone along the path to realizing an EIC in the US.  With this in mind, the Jefferson Lab EIC Center (EIC2, see www.eiccenter.org) established a Visitors-Program for summer 2019 to help begin to investigate, more quantitatively than previously, various aspects of the EIC. This Program will occur under the auspices of Jefferson Lab’s EIC Center; proposals for projects can be EIC site independent. Efforts have been underway to simulate science opportunities and detector performance within a generic EIC software umbrella, and similarly collaborative efforts are ongoing related to accelerator and detector R&D.

     

    The envisioned visits to Jefferson Lab would take place between now and mid-September and would be 1 to 2 weeks duration with travel expenses including hotel and airfare covered by the laboratory.  The visitors will be chosen by the EIC2 Director and Co-Directors based on a written proposal that outlines:

    1. Proposed project to be accomplished during the visit.
    2. The deliverable for the project.
    3. Collaborators and/or resources required while at Jefferson Lab.
    4. Preferred dates for the visit.

     

    The possible projects to be proposed include (but are not limited to)

    • Physics studies related to the EIC
    • Detector studies related to the EIC
    • Accelerator studies related to the EIC
    • Aspects of EIC considered as pre-project planning

     

    Examples of project deliverables can be a plot with EIC-projected conceptual data illustrating EIC energy, polarization, luminosity or versatility needs; a detector conceptualization including possible channel count and requirements; conceptualization towards polarization, luminosity and background measurements at an EIC; conceptualization of accelerator elements for diagnostics and beam transport and manipulation; and other such examples. We request the project deliverable, in the form of a one-to-two page document, to be submitted latest the last day of the visit.

     

    If interested, please send a written proposal containing points 1 to 4 above in no more than two pages, to Douglas Higinbotham <doug@jlab.org>.

    We are currently open to receive proposals and will continue to be so contingent upon funding availability.

  • Detector Testing

    Jefferson Lab has a rich history of doing parasitic detector tests in the experimental halls to ensure successful future experiments. One very high impact example was the test of neutron detector shielding in Hall A, which demonstrated how to clearly best shield the neutron detector and allow the triple coincidence short-range correlation experiment to proceed. This led to Hall A's first publication in the journal, Science.

    Areas at Jefferson Lab where parasitic testing is possible are the high luminosity Halls A and C, and the low luminosity Hall B and Hall D. Dedicated testing is possible using the upgraded injector test facility, a 10 MeV electron beam area.

    To order to do tests in any of these areas, the following must occur:

    • Permission must be obtained from the hall leader and the area work coordinator.
    • All required trainings must be obtained, with all required safety documentation provided.

    It is expected that the group doing the test will provide the detectors and electronics. Minimum help is needed from hall technical staff. 

    A copy of the Jefferson Lab beam schedule to the four experimental halls can be found here.

    To facilitate outside groups who wish to test detectors for the future EIC in an electron beam environment, the EIC center is accepting requests and will help in determining which area at the lab would be best suited for a particular test. The EIC center will also help explain the training and safety requirement of Jefferson Lab to new users.

    Further details about the areas and equipment avaliable in Hall B can be found here

    Contact Douglas Higinbotham for more details.

      Salute to Veterans with Christian Whalen, U.S. Army

      "The dynamic nature of the environment in foreign country deployments requires you to be able to assess and respond to events quickly and decisively," said Whalen."While the situations are far less dramatic here, the same principles apply..."
       

      Q&A with Christian Whalen, U.S. Army

      What did you do for the military?
      Army Aviation crew-chief/mechanic/supervisor. I started working on Bell 206/OH-58s (think News helicopter), transitioned to Blackhawks about mid-career, got into the special forces and got trained on airplanes, foreign aircraft, and multiple civilian and military helicopters. I finished as a First Sergeant of a Chinook heavy lift company in Iraq.

      What made you decide to join the military?
      A combination of things: 64 credit hours of college in one year and I loved aviation!

      Why did you choose the branch of service that you did?
      The Army guaranteed my job in helicopters as a mechanic, which meant I could fly on the maintenance test flights.

      What was your favorite part of the job?
      The thrill of the action; rappelling out of helicopters, parachuting out of C-130's, long range orienteering. I spent seven years in Germany and loved traveling on weekends seeing the different countries.

      What was your most interesting/favorite deployment or duty station and why?

      My time in the 1 SFOD-D because of the variety and intensity of the training and the direct difference it made when we had a deployment.

      What skills did you develop that you use now after your military career?
      I always hated having to do public speaking when I was younger, but through the leadership training and my time as a recruiter, I now enjoy doing presentations. The other main skill I have used since my retirement has been team leadership. The dynamic nature of the environment in foreign country deployments requires you to be able to assess and respond to events quickly and decisively. While the situations are far less dramatic here, the same principles apply to the way we serve our Jefferson Lab folks in my section.

      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.
