Jefferson Laboratory benefits from organizing and centralizing sufficient superconducting and resistive magnet expertise to support existing and future magnets at the lab. The Magnet Group is a Technical Support Group within the Experimental Nuclear Physics Division which fulfills this role.
Scientists from across the country and around the world come to Jefferson Lab to advance mankind's understanding of the atom's nucleus. To probe nuclei, scientists use continuous beams of high-energy electrons from the lab's Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility, or CEBAF, as well as technologically advanced targets, unique particle-detection systems and ultra-high-speed data acquisition equipment in CEBAF's four experimental halls.
