Jefferson Lab

Five of the nation's top physics Ph.D. students are headed to Jefferson Lab as recipients of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) prestigious Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) award. They'll work alongside our scientists to tackle cutting-edge research for their thesis projects. We are so excited to watch them grow their research and expand their network! https://bit.ly/4gIHTcN Vanderbilt University University of Virginia William & Mary

From Small Colleges to Big Discoveries: How the Visiting Faculty Program Makes a Difference Learn more about how Leonard Gamberg, a Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Berks, joined Jefferson Lab’s Visiting Faculty Program (VFP) and brought his passion for nuclear physics to a whole new level. Over the summer, Gamberg collaborated with leading theorists and experimentalists, advancing his research on the quark structure of protons and pions. Applications are now being accepted for the U.S. Department of Energy VFP Summer 2025 term. The application deadline is January 8, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EST. https://lnkd.in/dB-MadTS

Join us in celebrating our second annual Quark Tank Research #SLAM! Five early-career scientists did a great job explaining their research in just three minutes. A big shoutout to Pia Jones Petrak, who will represent Jefferson Lab at the national U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) SLAM event on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., with her talk, "What Particles Are There?"

Behind every breakthrough at Jefferson Lab is a team of innovators. The Center for Injectors and Sources (CIS) group plays a vital role in advancing science by developing the electron guns that drive our research. Their expertise in high-voltage photoguns, beam polarization, and cutting-edge technologies helps push the boundaries of discovery. Meet the team powering discovery! The CIS team at Jefferson Lab creates the world-class electron beams that make our research possible. From high-voltage photoguns to polarized beam technologies, they’re driving science forward.

What happens when middle schoolers learn how to train AI? We recently hosted our first Middle School Data Science Workshop. In a hands-on session led by lab software scientist David Lawrence, middle school students trained AI through a popular arcade game. Learn how he aims to create opportunities and shape the next generation of scientists. Stay connected with us for more updates on our educational initiatives and events!
