Brookhaven Lab names project director for electron-ion collider

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

The US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory has named Jim Yeck as Project Director for the Electron-Ion Collider, a one-of-a-kind nuclear physics research facility to be built at the Laboratory over the next decade in partnership with scientists from DOE's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab).

Experimenting with laser wakefield acceleration

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

An intern at Brookhaven Lab experiments with laser wakefield acceleration -- often called the 'tabletop accelerator.' The goal is to use lasers to accelerate particles to greater energies over shorter distances than can be done with traditional accelerators -- and therefore in a much smaller space.

A fresh pair of eyes on an old nuclear physics problem

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

As an intern for the National Nuclear Data Center at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Pedro Rodríguez is working to resolve a 70-year-old problem in nuclear physics. He and his mentor are figuring out a way to simplify one of the steps for ensuring nuclear reactors can be modeled correctly.

Meet the Intern Using Quantum Computing to Study the Early Universe

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Juliette Stecenko, an intern at Brookhaven National Laboratory, is using modern supercomputers and quantum computing platforms to perform astronomy simulations that may help us better understand where we came from.

EIC R&D yields energy-saving accelerator innovations

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

An energy-recovery linear accelerator that scientists explored for accelerating particles in an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) could form the foundation of an energy-saving design for a future high-energy electron-positron collider.
