Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility

The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, also known as Jefferson Lab, is a research center in Virginia dedicated to studying the fundamental building blocks of matter. It uses powerful electron beams to probe the structure of protons, neutrons, and atomic nuclei. These experiments help scientists understand how matter is built and how the universe works at the smallest scales. Jefferson Lab's advanced equipment and facilities support fundamental physics research, advancing knowledge in particle physics and nuclear science, and often contribute to technological innovations and education.
