Fermilab, SLAC, JLab, Brookhaven, Argonne… these are all major players in particle physics and accelerator R&D. They are also the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) “national labs”. All national research labs came to Washington, D.C. on 20 April to show their work to members of Congress and other visitors. Pictured is Dick Durbin, Illinois senator, giving his address. DOE has 17 national laboratories that address a variety of  scientific and technological challenges to energy, environmental and national security. The laboratories employ more than 30,000 scientists, engineers and support staff in 19 states, and operate major scientific facilities for the benefit of the nation’s research and development community.
