  • 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.

    The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) is located at 12000 Jefferson Avenue in Newport News, Virginia.

  • The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is a particle accelerator facility planned for construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in partnership with the Jefferson Lab (JLab) to address the following key science questions:

  • Sensitive pre-clinical biomedical imaging is critical for conducting animal studies in search of cures for diseases in people and animals. Jefferson Lab has already drawn on its expertise in detector technology to design and build several small-animal imagers for biomedical research. These tools are already being used for basic research into diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and cystic fibrosis.

  • After years of design, construction and testing, Jefferson Lab is installing a state-of-the-art Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) tracking detector in one of its experimental areas. The detector tracks charged particles, such as those emitted by cancer cells tagged with a radiopharmaceutical or radiation beams used to target cancers. The extreme precision and fast readout technologies developed for the GEM detectors are now being applied to new state-of-the-art systems for nuclear medicine. 

  • A medical isotope made from radioactive copper, called Cu-67, is an important therapeutic analog for image-guided radiopharmaceutical therapy for cancer and inflammatory diseases. Jefferson Lab is studying the viability of using its Low Energy Recirculator Facility to produce Cu-67 in a novel way, which may result in another avenue to secure this rare and valuable radioisotope for use in the patients who need it most.
