Extras!

Here is a better look at Hall B's six superconducting magnets. The magnets are cooled with Liquid Helium and are used to bend the paths of the particles that come flying out of the target when the beams hits it. Drift chambers will be installed between the magnets to measure the particles' paths.

This tour reflects Jefferson Lab as it was in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In particular, this predates the 12 GeV upgrade and the addition of Hall D. For a modern look at the Lab, please see the Jeffeson Lab Virtual Tour.
