  • 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.   

     

    EIC2@JLab consolidates and connects the EIC physics and detector development activities in and around Jefferson Lab. These activities include:

    • Activities of the Jefferson Lab EIC groups
    • JLab EIC weekly general meetings.
    • Organizing and hosting of EIC related ad-hoc workshops.
    • Documentation of EIC and JLEIC relevant topics.

     

    Further, EIC2 coordinates with the following activities:

    • Relevant Jefferson Lab LDRD projects.
    • Relevant EIC Detector R&D funded activities.
    • HUGS Summer School.
    • Local hosting of relevant national and international conferences.
    • Planning of the EIC component in the annual JLab Users Group meeting.

     

    In addition, EIC2 establishes the following new activities:

    • Graduate and post-doc Fellowship program.
    • Series of seminar talks related to EIC.

  • Nuclear theorists put pen to paper and code to computer to detail a subatomic particle’s inner structure.

  • Physicists develop a universal function that suggests that proton-neutron pairs in the nucleus may explain why quarks inside nuclei have lower average momenta than predicted.

  • Built with detector technologies used in nuclear physics experiments, the system monitors radiation treatments in hard-to-reach areas.

    What is Laboratory Directed Research and Development?.

  • A new study has confirmed that increasing the number of neutrons as compared to protons in the atom’s nucleus also increases the average momentum of its protons.

  • The determination of the pressure distribution inside the proton is the first measurement of a mechanical property of a subatomic particle. The measurement found that the proton’s building blocks, quarks, are subjected to a pressure of 100 decillion Pascal (1035) near the center of a proton, which is about 10 times greater than the pressure in the heart of a neutron star.
