The Jefferson Lab Large Acceptance Detector (LAD)
Description/Abstract/Artist Statement
The Large Acceptance Detector (LAD) will be used at Jefferson Lab to study the quark-gluon structure of neutrons in the atomic nucleus. The LAD will be built from 20-year-old scintillator detectors that need to be tested and refurbished. This poster will describe the procedures for testing the scintillators, replacing the necessary parts, and characterizing the time resolution and energy response of the refurbished scintillators.
