  • It is time for Jefferson Lab to embark on a new phase of life as a national laboratory -- a new phase in which we expand our view and ambition toward a broader role within the Department of Energy’s science mission.  While we maintain a focus on fundamental nuclear science, we have an opportunity and a duty to seek even greater impact in scientific discovery, technology development, regional and national priorities. With that in mind, it is time to plan for the Jefferson Lab of the Future.

  • Jefferson Lab is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) which is maintained and operating by JSA under our contract with the Department of Energy (DOE). Key sections of the prime JSA/DOE Contract, which lab personnel may need to refer to from time to time, are found below and will be updated as significant changes in the contract occur:

  • EIC Center at Jefferson Lab

    The Electron-Ion Collider Center at Jefferson Lab (EIC2@JLab) is an organization to advance and promote the science program at a future electron-ion collider (EIC) facility. Particular emphasis is on the close connection of EIC science to the current Jefferson Lab 12 GeV CEBAF science program.   

    "EIC Center"At the heart of the atom are protons and neutrons. The characteristics and interactions of neutrons and protons, singly and collectively in the nuclei are responsible for how our cosmos developed and how our sun provides the heat that sustains the eco-system on earth. 

    While we have known for 50 years that protons and neutrons are made of quarks and gluons (represented in the figure to the left as spheres with arrows and springs, respectively), we are just beginning to learn how to image the structure and interactions inside protons and neutrons that are at the femto-scale, a million times smaller than the nano-scale of modern micro-electronics.

    Jefferson Lab has been at the forefront of this research; the current 12 GeV CEBAF program at JLab is world-leading in this science. The proposed Electron-Ion Collider will be the ultimate instrument for this new science: nuclear femtography.

  • The Chief Operating Officer is responsible for the business functions of Jefferson Lab.

    These functions include procurement, facilities management resources and services including civil construction, security, property management, legal counsel, and Human Resources.

  • The Laboratory Budget and Program Support Office is responsible for lab-wide and division budget development, tracking, and providing budget forecasts. The Office also submits the Biennial Budget to the State of Virginia and the Annual Budget to the Department of Energy.

     

  • Vision: Partnering with our customers, we provide support to further the laboratory's mission to operate a world class user facility for conducting nuclear physics research. Our focus is to provide project management and integrated planning support across the Lab that is aligned with Lab goals, objectives and guidance.
