Creativity and engineering make possible new art and cutting-edge nanotube technology
If you attended the famous Burning Man festival in 2018, you may have seen a giant, kinetic art installation co-built by Kevin Jordan, a Jefferson Lab electrical engineer. Jordan and George Neil, his former supervisor at the lab, have been traveling North America showcasing their namesake Double Helix Art installations, which feature a double helix light apparatus held high in the air.
Sebastian Kuhn is a past chair of the Jefferson Lab Users Organization (JLUO) and current professor and eminent scholar at Old Dominion University. When he is not running an experiment in Hall B, Kuhn splits his time between his office, the university’s lecture hall, and his lab.
The Spectator Tagging Project develops the capabilities for high-energy electron scattering experiments with polarized light ions (deuteron 2H, 3He) and detection of spectator nucleons (protons, neutrons) at a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Such experiments address basic questions of nuclear and strong interaction physics:
Event generators and analysis tools for electron-deuteron collisions with spectator nucleon tagging are being developed for process simulations at EIC. The materials are presently organized in the following categories:
