Where are the experiments done?

Welcome to Jefferson Lab! Why was Jefferson Lab built? How do scientists study quarks? What is an accelerator? How does the accelerator work? Why use niobium to make the cavities? Where are the experiments done? What else is done at Jefferson Lab?

Three large experimental halls sit at the end of Jefferson Lab's accelerator. The halls can conduct three different experiments, each with its own beam energy, at the same time. Each experimental hall is equipped with huge electromagnets and particle detectors that the scientist use to study their experiments.
