A new project aims to use machine learning to improve up-time of particle accelerators NEWPORT NEWS, VA – More than 1,600 nuclear physicists worldwide depend on the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility for their research. Located at the Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News, Va., CEBAF is a DOE User Facility that is scheduled to conduct research for limited periods each year, so it must perform at its best during each scheduled run.

More Than 1,300 Students in Newport News Will Participate in the BEAMS (Becoming Enthusiastic About Math and Science) program at Jefferson Lab A group of fifth graders eyed Jefferson Lab Science Education Administrator Steve Gagnon. He stood unassuming and patient at the front of the lab auditorium, ready to begin the Cryogenics Show. Behind him was a complex mix full of common house hold items (including a tea kettle) and science equipment (such as glass tubes) scattered and seemingly disorganized across a long table.
