With industry and university partners, Jefferson Lab also has a
derivative
mission: applied research for using the Free-Electron Lasers based on
technology developed at the lab to conduct physics experiments.
Additionally,
as a center for both basic and applied research, Jefferson Lab reaches
out to
help educate the next generation in science and technology.<o:p></o:p></p>
