    Jefferson Lab hosts Open House on
    Saturday, April 26


    Bring the family, bring a friend and plan on spending the day with us! Take in the latest physics research and technology developments underway at Jefferson Lab.

    The Open House is set for Saturday, April 26, 2003, from 9 a.m.- 3 p.m. rain or shine, is open to the public and is free. The Lab's last Open House was about 2 years ago.

    Every major area of the facility will be open. In addition to the unique electron beam accelerator (located in a tunnel 25 feet underground), visitors will be able to see two of the Lab's experimental halls (35 feet underground), the Free-Electron Laser Facility, Computer Center and the Accelerator Assembly area where components for JLab's accelerator and the Department of Energy's Spallation Neutron Source are assembled and tested. In every area, experts will be on hand to answer questions and provide information. The Lab's medical imaging endeavors will also be on display. And, of course Lab staff will be giving the ever-popular Liquid Nitrogen Demonstration throughout the day.

    Be prepared for a stroll - walking is required
    Visiting all exhibits, activities and open facilities could take 2-4 hours, depending on your interest level and walking speed. Wear comfortable shoes, as there is plenty of walking. To tour the accelerator tunnel you must walk down and back up five flights of stairs. To tour the experimental halls you must walk down and back up a rough incline (truck ramp). The accelerator tunnel is not handicap accessible - all other areas are accessible via elevators. JLab staff will be available to assist individuals requiring handicap access to various areas.
