[Cuga] New APM for Physics for the 12 GeV Upgrade and New Hall D Leader: A message from Claus Rode, Allison Lung, and Larry Cardman

[Rachel Harris]

Jefferson Lab is pleased to announce a successful conclusion to the 
international search for scientists to fill two key positions at the 
laboratory:  the Associate Project Manager (APM) for Physics for the 12 
GeV Upgrade and the Hall D Group Leader.

Dr. Glenn Young has accepted the position of APM for Physics in the 
Upgrade project and will be joining the laboratory August 31.  Glenn 
received his Ph.D. in 1977 from MIT for work carried out at the BNL dual 
tandem van de Graaff facility.  He joined ORNL in 1978 as a Wigner 
Fellow to work at HHIRF.  In 1986 his group at ORNL moved their efforts 
to the CERN SPS as part of the relativistic heavy-ion program then 
starting there, participating in the series of experiments WA80, WA93 
and WA98.  He is one of the original members of the PHENIX collaboration 
at RHIC at BNL, serving as deputy project manager and deputy spokesman, 
with project responsibilities for electronics, data-acquisition and 
online computing.  Since 2002 he has been director of the Physics 
Division at ORNL.  He has been a member of the JLab PAC and various 
advisory groups to the Lab since the early 1990s and is looking forward 
to working on the 12-GeV Project.

Dr. Eugene Chudakov has accepted the position of Hall D leader.  Eugene 
received his Ph.D. in 1987 from Dubna for research on hadroproduction of 
hyperons and heavy flavors carried out at the Serpukhov accelerator.  
 From 1989 to 1998 he was at CERN doing research on charm physics, 
hyperon polarization and search for exotic resonances using the 
Omega-spectrometer.  He joined JLab in 1998, and has been involved in a 
broad variety of experiments in Hall A, with particular emphasis on the 
parity violation program in the hall, and on the design and maintenance 
of major equipment in the Hall, including both beam polarimetry and 
reaction product calorimetry.  Eugene has been serving as Acting Hall D 
leader for the last six months, and so the transition will be immediate 
and seamless.
Please join us in welcoming Glenn to Jefferson Lab and in thanking 
Eugene for a job well done as Acting Hall D leader and congratulating 
him on his promotion.

Regards,
Claus Rode, Allison Lung, and Larry Cardman
