NEWPORT NEWS - Nuclear physicists have made a new, highly accurate measurement of the thickness of the neutron skin that encompasses the lead nucleus in experiments conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility and just published in Physical Review Letters. The result, which revealed a neutron skin thickness of .28 millionths of a nanometer, has important implications for the structure and size of neutron stars.
The protons and neutrons that form the nucleus at the heart of every atom in the universe help determine each atom s identity and properties. Nuclear physicists are studying different nuclei to learn more about how these protons and neutrons act inside the nucleus. The Lead Radius Experiment collaboration, called PREx (af
Research fellow turns to accelerator power for wastewater cleanup
As the inaugural Hermann Grunder Fellow, John Vennekate is developing a compact superconducting radiofrequency accelerator that could remove contaminants from wastewater
DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
Hermann Grunder is the founding director of the U.S. Department of Energy s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. In addition to helping shape the lab into its current form, Grunder transformed the vision of the lab s premier particle accelerator in the late 1980s, changing it to one that featured a new superconducting technology and recirculating design. The result was the design-specification-surpassing Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) that we know today.
Jefferson Lab launches virtual AI Winter School for physicists
More than 300 participants from around the world have signed up to explore artificial intelligence s game-changing role in nuclear physics research
DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
Artificial intelligence is a game-changer in nuclear physics, able to enhance and accelerate fundamental research and analysis by orders of magnitude.
The U.S. Department of Energy s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility is exploring the expanding synergy between nuclear physics and computer science as it co-hosts together with The Catholic University of America and the University of Maryland a virtual weeklong series of lectures and hands-on exercises Jan. 11-15 for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and even absolute beginners.
