The second meeting of the EPIC Collaboration will take place January 9-11th at Jefferson Lab. The meeting will be held in a hybrid format to allow all members of the international collaboration to take part. The meeting is open to both current members of the EPIC collaboration as well as all interested parties.
This second meeting of the EPIC Collaboration comes at a time of major progress in the development of the technical design of the EPIC detector, the first major simulation campaign and deployment of the unified software stack, and the formation of the collaboration through a Collaboration Charter.

Part of a series attempting to depict artistically and aesthetically the different fields of physics. Trying to be scientifically accurate but not constrained to textbook figures or lists of equations. There is a beauty to the subject that is hard to see beyond the boring problems, mathematical tinkering, terminology, that one can get bogged down in. As a student I often found myself scrambling to pass exams and and turn in homework. Only long after I graduated and looked back at the basic equations did I really understand them and how much information they contained and how they so neatly described the world.

These magnets came from Argonne National Laboratory, which shipped the 30-year-old Advanced Photon Source (APS) magnets to Brookhaven and Jefferson Lab, where they will be re-purposed for use as part of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), a state-of-the-art particle collider being led by those other two labs and that will be built at Brookhaven.

Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) provides scientists worldwide the lab’s unique particle accelerator, known as the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF), to probe the most basic building blocks of matter by conducting research at the frontiers of nuclear physics (NP) and related disciplines.
In addition, the lab capitalizes on its unique technologies and expertise to perform advanced computing and applied research with industry and university partners, and provides programs designed to help educate the next generation in science and technology.

The NSRL uses beams of heavy ions extracted from Brookhaven's Booster accelerator, the best in America for radiobiology studies, to simulate the cosmic rays found in space. NSRL features its own beam line dedicated to radiobiology research and state-of-the-art specimen preparation resources. Within NSRL, scientists expose biological specimens---tissues, cells, and cell DNA---to beams of heavy ions. Other experimenters use industrial materials as samples, studying their suitability for space suits and spacecraft shielding.

Bogacz and his research team worked on a design that would allow the lab to double the maximum energy of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) to offer new experimental possibilities — from 12 GeV to around 24 GeV.

University of Chicago graduate student Ibrahim Sulai (left) and Argonne physicist Peter Mueller stand by one of their atom traps, similar to one that they used in France to identify the structure of the helium-8 atom. Along with other Physics Division colleagues, they used the innovative trap to confine individual helium-8 atoms long enough to precisely determine their nuclear charge distribution, a quantity that indicates how the atom's two protons and six neutrons arrange themselves to form the nucleus.

International Atomic Energy Agency hydrologist Luis Araguas-Araguas records data as a machine extracts gases from water samples taken from the Guarani aquifer in South America. The green LED on the front panel indicates the temperature of the water (in this case, 40.9°C, or 106°F). “Generally, the deeper the groundwater, the hotter it is,” said Argonne scientist Wei Jiang, who coauthored a study to track helium as it moves from underground to the surface.

The restored Victorian landmark is a historic fixture in the city, serving not only as a museum to prominent African-American attorney J. Thomas Newsome and his wife Mary Winfield Newsome’s accomplishments, but as a venue for exhibitions, special events, and community functions. It was the first structure owned by an African-American to receive a National Historic Preservation Award.

Today, Hampton University Proton Therapy Institute - HUPTI announced a partnership with Leo Cancer Care to develop an upright proton arc therapy treatment technique for cancer.
The technique will allow patients to stand or sit upright and, combined with an additional CT system, may better target tumors in patients.
Jefferson Lab is proud to contribute to these efforts by applying its nuclear physics and technology expertise to help pave the way for improvements in patient care.
