So-called 鈥淴YZ states鈥� defy the standard picture of particle behavior and have given rise to several attempts to understand their nature.
New 2024 American Physical Society Fellow Jozef Dudek is pursuing theoretical descriptions of exotic hadrons, a yet-untallied group of short-lived subatomic cousins of the proton and neutron, those more familiar atomic building blocks.
Jefferson Lab鈥檚 Experimental Physics Software and Computing Infrastructure (EPSCI) group develops centralized computing software that can be shared by any of the lab鈥檚 experimental halls and used for future projects.
This year, the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility celebrates the 40th anniversary of its founding to probe the secrets of the subatomic universe. And for 39 of those years, esteemed physicist Volker D. Burkert has been an important part of its mission. Now, Burkert is being honored for his contributions to advancements in experimental physics with the prestigious Tom W. Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physics. The citation reads: 鈥淔or exemplary leadership in the development of high-performance instrumentation for large acceptance spectrometers that have enabled breakthroughs in fundamental nuclear physics through electroproduction measurements of exclusive processes."
Four Jefferson Lab staff members have been named 2024 American Physical Society Fellows.
Radiation therapy techniques have been used for more than a century to treat cancers. Physicists in the Radiation Detector and Imaging group and associated with the Biomedical Research & Innovation Center (BRIC) at Jefferson Lab are launching a study into how best to advance safer types of radiation therapy. BRIC scientists plan to evaluate the ability of accelerator-based proton therapy to replace radioactive isotope-derived treatments.
The U.S. Department of Energy鈥檚 Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility announced today that Kate Petersen Mace has been named the project director for the High Performance Data Facility (HPDF) a first-of-its-kind project that will provide resources for data-intensive science.
The test represented the culmination of nearly three years of collaboration between Jefferson Lab and ESnet to develop a novel networking hardware prototype that can connect scientific instruments to computing clusters over a wide-area network such as ESnet鈥檚 in real time.
Deep inside what we perceive as solid matter, the landscape is anything but stationary. The interior of the building blocks of the atom鈥檚 nucleus 鈥� particles called hadrons that most of us would recognize as protons and neutrons 鈥� are made up of a seething mixture of interacting quarks and gluons, known collectively as partons. The HadStruc collaboration has now come together to map out these partons and disentangle how they interact to form hadrons. Their latest findings were recently published in the Journal of High Energy Physics.
Scientists from Jefferson Lab, Old Dominion University and the University of Virginia recently conducted a study that compares deep learning models of street-scale flooding in the City of Norfolk with previous machine learning and physics-based simulations.
2024 JSA Postdoctoral Prize Winner Debaditya Biswas will combine different particle identification methods with machine learning to detect muons hidden in a sea of pions.
This article features the Jefferson Lab SRF Operations Department鈥檚 cryomodule assembly technicians, a team of master craftsmen who build, test and install cryomodules in particle accelerators. Their work enables scientific discoveries at Jefferson Lab and beyond.
Building on nearly 15 years of research, physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy鈥檚 Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility are exploring magnetrons as the drivers of modern particle accelerators. This could lower the carbon footprint of these energy-hungry machines and help them benefit society far beyond the realm of scientific research.
Karthik Suresh鈥檚 doctoral dissertation on meson decay in the ongoing GlueX Collaboration at Jefferson Lab has just earned the prestigious 2023 Jefferson Science Associates (JSA) Thesis Prize.
A combination of supercomputing and traditional techniques has allowed Jefferson Lab theorists to better describe the unstable sigma meson particle, contributing to our comprehension of the strong interaction.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility are exploring how adding oxygen to the surfaces of particle accelerator cavities, one of the most critical parts of an accelerator, can help scientists custom-tailor their properties for maximum efficiency and minimum cost.
Jefferson Science Associates, LLC, today announced that Kim Sawyer will become the new director of the U.S. Department of Energy鈥檚 Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, effective Aug. 2. Sawyer will serve as the lab鈥檚 fifth director in its 40-year history.
The Jefferson Lab LOVEwork is a testament to the lab鈥檚 commitment to partnering with other national labs, reducing its environmental impact by reusing scientific apparatus, and educating future scientists in the science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) disciplines. This is the lab鈥檚 first public art and STEAM education installation, and it was first unveiled on June 6 in preparation for Jefferson Lab鈥檚 2024 Open House event.
The MOLLER experiment has received Critical Decision 2 鈥淎pprove Performance Baseline鈥� and Critical Decision 3 鈥淎pprove Start of Construction鈥� from the Department of Energy, which provides clearance to move forward with all procurements and equipment construction.
Jefferson Lab Staff Scientist Holly Szumila-Vance earns the 2024 Guido Altarelli Award for outstanding contributions to experimental physics.
