Jefferson Lab

Teachers are some of our biggest heroes! Each day they work hard shaping the community and inspiring future scientists. At Jefferson Lab, we have programs such as Science Activities for Teachers (JSAT), a resource for 5th, 6th and 8th grade science teachers looking to build skills and foster connections. Applications for 2024-2025 are now open! https://lnkd.in/e_7bHXGD

A pocket-size gizmo that puts the “pop” in microwave popcorn could soon fuel particle accelerators of the future. Here's how Jefferson Lab is collaborating with private-sector firms and universities to develop efficient, scalable and low-cost magnetron systems that can drive a compact – and possibly portable – particle accelerator. The work could enable industrial uses for these research machines that include water treatment, chemical fabrication and security.

Congratulations to Karthik Suresh, who received the 2023 JSA Thesis Prize for his work on analysis of the neutral b1 meson! The research was carried out in Jefferson Lab's Experimental Hall D. Karthik accepted the award and described his work at the Jefferson Lab Users Organization Annual Meeting in June. https://lnkd.in/eJw48ZUJ

The sigma meson is thought to play a significant role in the interactions between protons and neutrons, but studying the sigma is difficult due to its instability and short lifetime. Now, theorists are honing in on the sigma with a new tact that combines supercomputers and traditional theory techniques. https://lnkd.in/ezzg-f4e

Tyler Williams, a Duquesne University student, found his interest in physics while searching for the right career path. Joining the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program at Jefferson Lab helped him solidify his choice. Williams earned the best presentation award at the Duquesne Undergraduate Research Symposium with his research on using the Hofstadter method to display magnetization and electric charge in nucleons. His work updates a classic method with modern technology through advanced coding. Read more about his innovative study and accomplishments in our latest feature. https://lnkd.in/eaPP_4gA

Jefferson Lab researchers are pushing the boundaries of particle accelerator efficiency. A recent publication of their work highlights how contamination can be beneficial. By modeling oxygen diffusion in niobium cavities, they’ve found that strategic contamination can fine-tune these critical components, achieving maximum performance at reduced cost. This breakthrough could revolutionize the construction of accelerators, leading to significant savings and advancements in scientific research. Eric Lechner https://bit.ly/4cRwoxu
