  5. Leveraging the National Lab Connection Jefferson Lab (and other national labs) provide a unique environment not found in academia and industry. Technical resources brought together to do basic nuclear physics research (scientists/engineers/technicians: electronics, software development, data acquisition, gas systems, vacuum systems, radiation detection, optics etc...) provide opportunities for innovation. Necessity the mother of invention? Our group’s success with applying nuclear physics detector technology to other disciplines was only possible because we are grounded in developing tools for nuclear physics research. Also goes in reverse. The Detector Group and JLab Physics Division is in a unique situation now given our expertise in medical and biological applications using our expertise in nuclear physics detector technology (DAQ/electronics, simulations, 3D analysis, PSPMTs, scintillators, SiPMs). The Detector Group can play a synergistic role between nuclear physics, bio physics, medical physics and more. More involvement of the division’s technical expertise in is this should be encouraged. This unique environment can be exploited more. It is good for promoting more support for basic research and it is good for society.
