  • Exploring the Nature of Matter

    Plans and proposals for the next, great physics machine for studying the intrinsic bits of everyday matter are starting to form. The proposed Electron-Ion Collider could ensure that the cutting-edge science that has kept Jefferson Lab and the United States at the frontier of nuclear physics research for 25 years will continue for decades to come.

  • The next large nuclear physics research facility being proposed to the DOE for construction is an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). An EIC could provide unique capabilities for the study of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory that describes how quarks and gluons build protons, neutrons and nuclei. In March 2013, NSAC ranked an EIC as “absolutely central” in its ability to contribute to world-leading science research. Two facilities, Jefferson Lab and Brookhaven National Lab in New York, are developing facility concepts.

  • A Jefferson Lab EIC would accelerate two beams of sub-atomic particles to nearly the speed of light before slamming the beams together. A stream of electrons and a stream of protons or ions would collide at two interaction points. These interaction points will be surrounded by large detectors, which will record the results of these interactions for scientists to interpret.

  • Building an Electron-Ion Collider at Jefferson Lab would capitalize on the lab’s existing Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility and on the lab’s expertise in designing and building particle accelerators. The essential new elements of an EIC facility at Jefferson Lab would include an electron storage ring and an entirely new, modern ion acceleration and storage complex that would be constructed in a large-scale civil engineering project.

  • The Electron-Ion Collider is considered to be essential to the United States’ ability to contribute to world-leading scientific research. Researchers hope such a machine can help answer fundamental questions about ordinary matter, revealing for the first time and in detail how matter’s smallest building blocks and nature’s universal forces combine to build our visible universe.

  • Grad. Students Sought for Lab Tour Program

    The Public Affairs office is seeking graduate students who are interested in working as tour escorts during lab tours. In addition to learning about other areas of the lab, meeting new people and practicing your public speaking skills, students can receive payment for assisting as tour escorts and/or tour subject matter speakers. For more information about this program, contact Mike Robbins, email mrobbins@jlab.org or call 269-7617.

  • Congestion in CEBAF Center Parking Lot Evening of Thursday, Jan. 8

    The Newport News Fire Department will hold its annual recognition ceremony and reception in the CEBAF Center auditorium and lobby on the evening of Thursday, Jan. 8.

    Fire Department personnel will begin arriving around 4 p.m. to set up for the event. Shortly after 5 p.m. the firefighters’ family members will begin arriving. The event will begin at 6 p.m. and last until about 8:30 p.m.

  • Demolition/Construction to Close Parking Areas Near Accelerator Site Entrance

    Demolition of the two Radiation Control Department trailers and Building 52 is expected to begin on July 13 and will take about one month. The parking area around these buildings will be closed beginning the evening of July 10 and will remain closed until construction of the new ESH&Q building on the same site is complete in 2016.

    All personnel are reminded to stay out of this area. If you have any questions about this project, contact Suresh Chandra at x7248.
