Company overview
The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, commonly known as Jefferson Lab, is a premier U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory and Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) located in Newport News, Virginia. Established in 1984, Jefferson Lab specializes in nuclear physics research, accelerator science and technology, and operates as a major scientific user facility. The laboratory's primary mission is to deliver breakthrough science and technology in nuclear physics through its flagship facility, the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF), which provides high-quality beams of polarized electrons for fundamental research into the quark and gluon structure of protons and neutrons. With approximately 850 employees and an annual budget of around $238 million, Jefferson Lab serves as a critical resource for the international scientific community, hosting approximately 1,650 researchers annually. The laboratory is expanding its mission to include high-performance computing, data science, and artificial intelligence through the High Performance Data Facility (HPDF) project, positioning itself as a multi-purpose national laboratory. Jefferson Lab plays a leading role in major international collaborations, including the Electron-Ion Collider project, and maintains core capabilities in superconducting radiofrequency technology, experimental detector design, and computational science.
