Hall B is the site of the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer called CLAS12. Powerful magnets steer the electron beam into a target in the experimental hall. The beam's individual electrons smash into the protons and neutrons inside the nuclei of atoms in the target. These violent collisions produce new particles; heavier versions of the familiar protons and neutrons as well a whole variety of intermediate mass particles called "mesons". The outgoing electron that collided with the target nucleus, as well as the produced particles, go flying out into our detector, where they're measured.
Our job as particle physicists is to use these measurements to try to deduce the underlying structure of protons and neutrons in the target and to try to understand the forces that create these particles.

The winner will compete in the national event on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., in spring 2025, when contestants from the 17 national labs will educate U.S. government policymakers and their staff about the key role our labs play in the nation’s innovation ecosystem and their impact on the nation.
A tiltwing vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aircraft, originally a triservice development project of the US Army, US Navy/Marine Corps, and US Air Force.. The wings can tilt to the perpendicular so that the propellers are parallel to the ground, enabling to aircraft to takeoff (or land) vertically like a helicopter, then while in flight tilt the wings forward to fly forward. While successful, one of the three armed services co-operating in the development of the project (the US Navy/Marine Corps) lost interest in the project (supposedly because the aircraft was not that suitable for operations on aircraft carriers), and the project eventually died.
