Jefferson Lab Site Tour
Test Lab - Chemical Processing Room
Cavities have to be very clean to work in the accelerator, so one of the first things they get is a bath - in acid! The acid burns away the outer layers of metal, leaving a fresh, clean surface.
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.
