We are pleased to announce an upcoming series of summer workshops being organized jointly between the laboratory and the Jefferson Lab Users Organization (JLUO) to probe the science that would be opened up by a higher energy electron beam (~20-24 GeV) at Jefferson Lab. We are particularly interested in identifying key measurements that are not possible to access at 12 GeV, that initially utilize largely existing or already-planned Hall equipment, and that leverage the unique capabilities of luminosity and precision possible at Jefferson Lab in the EIC era.
Cryogenics pro designs systems to be used on-site, in labs around the world
Ritendra Bhattacharya is known for keeping things cool—cold, really. As deputy department head of the Cryogenics department at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, Bhattacharya leads the cryogenics engineering group and helps to maintain the five cryogenics plants operating throughout the lab.
Each cryogenic plant serves a unique function and needs to be operative 24/7 and 365 days a year using an unsupervised computer control system.
