Jefferson Lab has been a center of innovation and research since opening its doors in 1984. As we commemorate our 40th anniversary, we want to recognize the remarkable individuals who have dedicated over 35 years to our mission. Their unwavering commitment has been instrumental in our success and growth. Join us in celebrating their contributions by watching our special tribute video: ▶️ https://lnkd.in/eUDsa68H
About us
The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, located in Newport News, Virginia, is operated by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC for the Department of Energy’s Office of Science. The primary mission of the lab is to explore the fundamental nature of confined states of quarks and gluons, including the nucleons that comprise the mass of the visible universe. Jefferson Lab is also a world-leader in the development of the superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) technology utilized for the lab's Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF). This technology is the basis for an increasing array of applications at Jefferson Lab, other DOE labs, and in the international scientific community. The DOE recently announced the selection of Jefferson Lab as the lead for its new High Performance Data Facility Hub. The HPDF will be a $300-500 million computing and data infrastructure resource that will provide transformational capabilities for data analysis, networking and storage for the nation’s research enterprise. It will provide researchers with tools, methods and technologies to maximize the scientific value of data. Jefferson Lab has more than 700 full-time employees and an international scientific user community of more than 1,300 researchers whose work has resulted in scientific data from 175 experiments to date. Research at Jefferson Lab also contributes to thesis research material for about one-third of all U.S. Ph.D.s awarded annually in Nuclear Physics. The Lab's outstanding science education programs for K-12 students, undergraduates and teachers build critical knowledge and skills in the physical sciences that are needed to solve many of the nation's future challenges.

As we celebrate 40 years at Jefferson Lab, let's reflect on the key milestones that have shaped our journey. In 1984, we received funding from the DOE to initiate the groundbreaking research that defines us today. We continued to push the boundaries of our research capabilities, securing funding for the 12 GeV upgrade in 2004 and completing it in 2017. Our commitment to innovation has not waned. In 2023, we established the Biomedical Research & Innovation Center, and were honored to be selected by the DOE as the hub for the new High Performance Data Facility. This week, we commemorate 40 years of research and innovation at Jefferson Lab, celebrating our past achievements and looking forward to future discoveries.

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.
