The Jefferson Lab Activity Group (JAG) was formed to enhance employee morale through various recreational, social, and athletic activities. Part of JAG's overall function is to promote and implement new ideas in support of DOE and DC policies. JAG also monitors new and existing recreational programs to ensure benefit to the greatest cross section of the lab community.
The 12 GeV Upgrade is highly cost effective due to existing features of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF). The superconducting radiofrequency linear accelerators contain superconducting niobium cavities operating, on average, at 50 percent above their design specifications in accelerating gradient and Q. The success of this technology opens up the possibility of a relatively simple, inexpensive upgrade of CEBAF's top energy.
