Jefferson Lab

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

Mark your calendars and plan to join John Vennekate, PhD, on June 26. He will discuss how research at Jefferson Lab is developing compact, conduction-cooled accelerators based on SRF technology to address environmental challenges like the mitigation of "forever chemicals" in wastewater treatment. Discover how this innovative technology can contribute to a cleaner future.

Jefferson Lab's science education manager, Lisa Surles-Law, recently participated in a leadership panel hosted by William & Mary for educators across the Commonwealth of Virginia. Panelists shared their professional roles in the community, anecdotes about their own mentors and sources of inspiration, and, most importantly, how they equip students with the 'durable skills' they need to succeed post-graduation. The annual SURN Leadership Conference, with its focus on these essential skills, brought educators and industry leaders together to learn, reflect and plan for the future. Learn how we're helping students develop critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills essential for the modern workforce. https://bit.ly/3VwWQFK

Thank you to Virginia Peninsula Community College for hosting yesterday's "AI Insights - Navigating the Future" symposium. The event was interactive, thought-provoking and full of meaningful dialogue about AI and its usefulness in business, education and government.

#WereHiring an MIS Application Server Administrator Join our team and develop, design, implement and maintain technical solutions for our existing platforms and stands up new ones as needed.
