The BEAMS- Becoming Enthusiastic About Math and Science - program is a vehicle to bring classes of fifth and sixth grade students, with their teachers, to Jefferson Lab for interactions with Jefferson Lab staff via science and math interactive activities. BEAMS targets the elementary and middle schools in Newport News with the largest at-risk student populations. Annually, The BEAMS program serves approximately 1300 students and 60 teachers. Through the BEAMS program, Jefferson Lab motivates students to continue learning and provides teachers with activities based on the science and...

In breast cancer screening, imaging based on nuclear medicine is currently being used as a successful secondary screening alongside mammography to reduce the number of false positives. Now, researchers are hoping to improve this imaging technique, known as molecular breast imaging or breast specific gamma imaging, by adding a new type of collimator - the variable angle slant hole collimator - to allow better image quality and precise location (depth information) within the breast.
The new superlattice photocathode, adapted by Jefferson Lab scientists for use in CEBAF, allows the use of readily available, fiber-based drive lasers, which require significantly less maintenance than laser types previously used in CEBAF. Introduction of these new lasers has reduced photo-injector downtime by more than 50% (from 2% total downtime to less than 1%).
