  • Jefferson Lab has four experimental halls. Hall C is 150 feet in diameter and 60 feet tall.

    Hall C houses two large spectrometers, the High Momentum Spectrometer and the new Super High Momentum Spectrometer.  The hall also provides space for temporary installation of other detectors such as the Neutral Particle Spectrometer and the Large Acceptance Detector.

    The research equipment in Hall C is used to study form factors and 3-D structure of simple quark systems, and short range structure in nuclei.

  • Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology wins 23rd Virginia Regional High School Science Bowl competition

    NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology continued their winning streak at the 23rd Virginia Regional High School Science Bowl competition on Feb. 3.

  • Theory and experiment combine to provide the most precise empirical extraction of the proton’s tensor charge, a fundamental property of the proton.

  • Scientists have made a new measurement that represents a breakthrough in their understanding of the proton’s mass.

  • DOE awards $2.16 million to Jefferson Lab’s David Lawrence and Chris Tennant for three-year projects

    NEWPORT NEWS, VA – The thrust of nuclear physics is studying the universe down to its smallest subatomic parts. Now, two physicists at the Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility have secured more than $2 million in federal funding dedicated to research projects that harness the power of data analytics to make that work faster and more efficient.

  • The following is a news release issued by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory regarding the launch of the Electron-Ion Collider Project. Members of Jefferson Lab’s leadership team joined elected officials and scientific partners in a virtual launch ceremony for the EIC project, which was held live and virtually at Brookhaven Lab on Friday, Sept. 18. Jefferson Lab is a key collaborator on the project to design, build and operate the Electron-Ion Collider.

     

  • Marcy Stutzman has been named a fellow of the American Vacuum Society

    NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Some of the most advanced work to enable research at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility is focused on ensuring that nothing gets in the way of the electron beam produced for nuclear physics experiments. Now, one Jefferson Lab staff scientist is being honored for her work on producing ultra-high to extreme-high vacuum environments to do just that.
