Cooking up a new theory for better accelerators

DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
Grant and Award Announcement

While particle accelerators may be on the cutting edge of science, the building and preparation of some particle accelerator components has long been more of an art form, dependent on recipes born of trial and error. Now, Ari Deibert Palczewski hopes to change that. A staff scientist at the Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, Palczewski has been awarded a DOE Early Career Research Program grant to put the science back into particle accelerator preparation.

Theorist takes aim at the makeup of matter

DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
Grant and Award Announcement

Quarks and gluons are elementary particles that make up everything you see before you, including yourself, and Nobuo Sato wants to know how. At the Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, he will be tackling this question as the recipient of the JSA/Jefferson Lab Nathan Isgur Fellowship for Nuclear Theory.

Next-gen tools for raw data processing

DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility

The GlueX apparatus at the Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility produces more than a petabyte (one million gigabytes) of data every year it runs, and that number is expected to double or triple in the near future. From their birthplace in the detector to their final state as stored data, each bit of information in these large datasets is passed through a pipeline of hardware and software that eventually funnels into the JLab Analysis Framework.
