UofR Delegates visit Jefferson Lab
On January 13, 2025, a UofR delegation visited Jefferson Lab (JLab), located in Newport News, Virginia, USA. The delegation was given a tour of the Test Lab and experimental Halls C and D, where Dr. Huber's and Dr. Papandreou's groups conduct their nuclear physics research. They also met with Jefferson Lab management to discuss how best to continue the 30+ year partnership between the two institutions.
