  • Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) provides scientists worldwide the lab’s unique particle accelerator, known as the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF), to probe the most basic building blocks of matter by conducting research at the frontiers of nuclear physics (NP) and related disciplines. In addition, the lab capitalizes on its unique technologies and expertise to perform advanced computing and applied research with industry and university partners, and provides programs designed to help educate the next generation in science and technology.

    Majority of computational science activities in Jefferson Lab focus on these areas : large scale and numerical intensive Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (LQCD) calculations, modeling and simulation of accelerators and the experiment detectors, fast data acquisition and streaming data readout, high throughput computing for data analysis of experimental data, and large scale distributed data storage and management.

    Many Jefferson Lab scientists and staffs lead or actively participate the computational efforts in the above areas. Among those are computer/computational scientists and computer professionals from newly formed computational sciences and technology division (CST), physicists from physics division and the Center for Theoretical and Computational Physics, and accelerator physicists from Center for Advanced Studies of Accelerators (CASA). In addition, collaborations with universities and industrial partners further research and development in computational science.

    Jefferson Lab maintains various state of art high performance computing resources onsite. CSGF students will utilize these resources to carried out their researches in the specific areas described below:

    Accelerator Modeling

    CASA and Jefferson Lab SRF institute focus on advanced algorithms, such as fast multipole methods, for multiparticle accelerator dynamics simulations, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applied to superconducting RF (SRF) accelerator operations, and integrated large and multi-scale modeling of SRF accelerator structures. These areas will be an essential part of a national strategy to optimize DOE operational facility investments, and to strengthen Jefferson Lab’s core competency of world-leading SRF advanced design and facility operations. Especially, current active simulation projects

    like electron cooling, intra-beam scattering, and coherent synchrotron radiation present diverse research domains ranging from numerical algorithms development to parallel computing.

    Streaming Data Readout

    With tremendous advancement in micro-electronics and computing technologies in the last decade, many nuclear physics and high-energy physics experiments are taking advantage of these developments by upgrading their existing triggered data acquisition to a streaming readout model (SRO) , whereby detectors are continuously read out in parallel streams of data. An SRO system, which could handle up to 100 Gb/s data throughput, provides a pipelined data analysis model to nuclear physics experiments where data are analyzed and processed in near real-time fashion. Jefferson Lab is leading a collaborative research and development effort to devise SRO systems not only for CEBAF 12GeV experiments but also for the upcoming EIC facility. SRO development offers CSGF students some exciting research areas such as network protocol design, high speed data communication, high performance data compression and distributed computing.

    Physics Data Analysis

    Analysis of data from modern particle physics experiments uses technically advanced programming and computing techniques to handle the large volumes of data. One not only needs to understand aspects of parallel programming using modern languages such as C/C++, Java, and Python, but also must incorporate knowledge of experimental techniques involving error propagation and estimation in order to properly interpret the results. Aspects of this range from writing a single algorithm used in event reconstruction, to using the collection of algorithms written by others, to managing campaigns at HPC facilities that apply these algorithms to large datasets. Detector calibrations and final physics analysis are also significant parts of the analysis chain. CSGF students could participate in any of these areas.

    Machine Learning

    Rapid developments in hardware computational power and an ever increasing set of data has lead to explosive growth in machine learning techniques, specifically deep learning techniques. These techniques threaten to change just about every facet of modern life and nuclear physics is no exception. At Jefferson Lab machine learning is being developed for every step in the physics workflow. To deliver beam to the experimental halls the accelerator relies on radio frequency (RF) cavities to accelerate the electrons. Occasionally these cavities, of which there are over 400 in operation around the accelerator, fault which disrupts the delivery of the beam to experiments. To quickly identify and diagnose cavity faults A.I. is being developed and deployed. Experiments themselves are developing and/or deploying A.I. to monitor detector performance, decide what data to keep, reconstruct detector responses, simulate the detectors, and even to analyze collected data. With the active development of machine learning tools and techniques Jefferson Lab hopes to drive nuclear physics research forward, enabling physicists to more quickly obtain and analyze high quality data.

    • Salute to Veterans with Betty Jean-Pierre, U.S. Navy

      “I have learned a lot through the course of my journey…I love what I do”

      “I love taking on challenges and finding new solutions!” Betty Jean-Pierre laughed, comparing her role as an aviation administrator in the U.S. Navy to her role as an accelerator division staff administrator at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory. At first, Jean-Pierre wasn’t quite sure what career she wanted to pursue when she joined the military – she just knew that she wanted to work in the Air Force or the Navy due to the rapid technological advances that were presented at the time.

      Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, Jean-Pierre said that she was tired of the grind and knew that she wanted to see the world. After considering her options, she quickly became an aviation administrator in 2000, where she updated technical publications, managed libraries, prepared reports and correspondence, scheduled aircraft inspections, issued work orders, maintained engine logbooks and aircraft records, and supervised two sailors. 

      “Overall, I like to organize and figure out how to make things run more efficiently – working in administration allows me to do that. I love when I have the freedom to help turn clutter into order.”

      Jean-Pierre said that her favorite part of serving in the military was that she was her own boss. She used her organizational skills to ensure that the day-to-day operations ran smoothly and always served as a helpful resource in case someone called on her. The diversity in surroundings allowed her to interact and communicate better and on a more professional level with others, improved her interpersonal skills. She also credits the military with honing in on the importance of paying attention to detail – something she depends on daily at the lab. Working in the military allowed her to sharpen her managerial skills, which eventually led her to complete her BA in Business Management in 2006.

      “It’s so important to ensure the information you are sharing is accurate and succinct. Mistakes in the military can cost someone’s life,” she says. “At the lab, it could have similar impacts when it comes to reporting numbers and safety-related information. It is so important to me to relay detailed information correctly.”

      Today, Jean-Pierre proudly mentions that one of her favorite parts of her current role is that she is a valued member of the team – and that her input is listened to.

      “I am given the respect to give my perspective and my ideas of how things can improve, as well as share my opinion about pursuing possible next steps. I like being involved and I want it to stay that way because that’s where my management and leadership skills come in! I have learned a lot through the course of my journey leading into this role. I love what I do.”

      Thank you for your service, Betty!
