12GeV
12GeV is a particle accelerator located at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) in Newport News, Virginia, USA. It is designed to provide high-intensity, continuous electron beams for nuclear physics research. The accelerator is named for its operating energy of 12 billion electronvolts (GeV), which is the energy of the electrons as they are accelerated.
The 12GeV accelerator consists of a series of superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities, which are used to
The 12GeV accelerator is used for a variety of nuclear physics experiments, including studies of the structure
The 12GeV accelerator is a key component of the Jefferson Lab's mission to advance our understanding of
