Jefferson Lab

About Jefferson Lab

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.

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.
