Scientific discoveries require more than just science; they require tools, equipment and resources to enable scientists to conduct their research. That’s where Renee Carter comes in. As a procurement administrator, Carter is focused on securing the tools, materials and devices that Jefferson Lab researchers need to fulfill every aspect of their work.
Researcher Relies on Jefferson Lab’s Powerful ‘Microscope’ to Study Weak Forces
Krishna Kumar has made it his life’s work to study the space within atoms. He pursues answers to life’s basic questions: Where did we come from? How are we put together? What happened right after the Big Bang?
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.

Title: Optimization of Superconducting Cavities: Shape, Fields, Multipactor
Abstract: A method is discussed to search geometrical parameters of elliptical cavities to obtain the best possible figures of merit: B_pk/E_acc (peak magnetic field) and GR/Q (losses) for a given E_pk/E_acc (peak electric field), aperture, wall slope...
Title: Methods for high-precision determinations of radiative-leptonic decay form factors using lattice QCD
Abstract: In the region of hard photon energies, radiative leptonic decays of pseudoscalar mesons represent important probes of the internal structure of hadrons. Such decays are particularly interesting for heavy...
New Accelerator Director Follows Technology, Oversees Accelerator Operations
Eduard Pozdeyev has made a career out of responding to the call for his expertise in designing and building equipment when an accelerator facility has required a large-scale equipment upgrade. Now, he is settling into his new, long-term role at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility on the other side of the project life-cycle—as the director of accelerator operations for the lab’s Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF).
