Using parity-violating weak interaction to measure neutron matter density and search for new physics
The weak interaction is the only fundamental interaction in nature that violates parity symmetry. Parity-violation produces asymmetric outcomes in mirror image experiments. The high-precision asymmetry measurements, using electrons with rapidly flipping polarization as probes, have extraordinary scientific reach across various sub-fields. PREX-2 and MOLLER are two such experiments that can only be conducted at the state-of-the-art Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility.

General Failure Modes and Effects Analysis for Accelerator and Detector Magnet Design at JLab
The aim of this article is to develop a risk management procedure, which could be applied to the magnet design process, for both superconducting and normal magnets at the Jefferson Laboratory (JLab). This procedure allowed us to identify the key risks at each of the critical phases of design and propose procedures, tests, and checks to mitigate each risk. In this article, we present a qualitative and quantitative risk management procedure commonly referred to a “failure modes and effects analysis.” As part of this procedure, we calculated a risk priority number (RPN) for each activity of the process, identified the most critical activities and proposed mitigation activities, which in turn resulted in a revised RPN. Additionally, another benefit of this procedure was the identification of appropriate “control and hold” points within the design process, which allowed one to review and approve a particular outcome before proceeding to the next sequential activity.
