BATES

Bates is a multi-purpose laboratory and is part of the MIT Laboratory for Nuclear Science. There are currently 20+ physicists, engineers, and technicians on-site who are adept at designing and building complex experimental equipment. In addition, there are administrative personnel and personnel from the MIT Environment, Health, and Safety office and from the MIT Department of Facilities... Bates is also home to the largest capability for High Performance Computing that MIT operates. This HPC capability is used by MIT researchers from across the Institute... Over the years Bates has pioneered a number of experimental techniques, including the use of energy-loss spectrometry to provide high resolution, the use of polarized electron beams for studies of nuclear properties and of fundamental interactions, the use of coincidence spectrometers, the use of internal gas targets, and the use of polarized targets.
