[All_jlau] Message from Hugh Montgomery: LDRD Celebration Announcement

[Pat Stroop]

Dear All,


This year marks the third year of Jefferson Lab’s Laboratory Directed 
Research and Development (LDRD) program.  It also marks the completion 
of the five of the six projects that have been funded to date by LDRD, 
including three projects that initiated the program in FY2014 and two 
additional projects begun in FY2015.  We are marking this milestone by 
having a Poster Session in the Atrium of CEBAF Center on Friday, October 
2^nd from noon to 1 PM.  We will also use the occasion to announce (at 
about12:30) the LDRD projects that will be funded for FY2016.

LDRD aims to stimulate research in new directions relevant to our 
Strategic Plan, and to provide opportunities to recognize innovative 
staff.  The scale of the projects is modest, and the total funding for 
the year has been set to be under $800,000.  Each year we solicit 
proposals and have a detailed peer review process to choose the projects 
to be funded.  The five projects that have been completed are listed 
below.  Do stop by and learn how these projects are helping the 
laboratory progress toward its plans for the future.

*Project #*

	

*Principal Investigator*

	

*Title*

	

*Status at Start of FY2016*


*/FY2014 Start/*

2014-LDRD-3

	

Jack McKisson

	

Physics Wireless Data Acquisition System for Imaging Detector

	

Completed (but some parts still to be delivered)

2014-LDRD-6

	

Christian Weiss

	

Physics potential of polarized light ions with EIC at JLab

	

Completed

2014-LDRD-10

	

Andrew Kimber

	

Development of a prototype for a fast RF kicker for the MEIC electron cooler

	

Completed


*/FY2015 Start/*

2015-LDRD-1a

	

Yuhong Zhang

	

Cooling by a bunched beam

	

Completed

2015-LDRD-1b

	

Yves Roblin

	

Coherent Synchrotron Radiation Suppression experiment

	

Completed

A sixth project, by He Zhang on “Enhancing Simulation Capability for 
Electron Cooling in MEIC Project” began in FY2015, but has planned for 
one more year of activity.  Broadly we are delighted with the progress 
that has been made by the projects funded through the LDRD program, and 
look forward with great interest to the evolution of their impact on the 
Lab and to similar impact from the new FY2016 projects that will be 
announced at the Poster Session.
