Accelerator makes cross-country trek to enable laser upgrade

DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
Business Announcement

Today, the US Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has shipped the final new section of accelerator that it has built for an upgrade of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). The section of accelerator, called a cryomodule, has begun a cross-country road trip to DOE's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, where it will be installed in LCLS-II, the world's brightest X-ray laser.

Postdoc pushes backward physics to fore

DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
Grant and Award Announcement

Wenliang "Bill" Li won the 2020 JSA Postdoctoral Prize to run experiments that will examine proton structure from a lesser-studied perspective. A postdoctoral researcher at William & Mary, Li is studying proton structure just like many people who conduct their nuclear physics research at Jefferson Lab. But he's studying a new aspect of it: the backward perspective.
