[Cuga] Jefferson Lab EIC Physics Group Leader- A message from Mont

[Lorelei Chopard]

*Jefferson Lab EIC Physics Group Leader*

Dear Colleague,
For several years, Jefferson Lab efforts in developing the physics case 
for an Electron Ion Collider and the detector concepts have been led by 
Rolf Ent. With the recent endorsement of an Electron-Ion Collider by the 
NSAC's Long-Range Planning efforts, the EIC effort will enter a new 
phase as we move towards its realization. With a view to this phase we 
have sought a physicist who could be dedicated to this leadership. After 
an extensive search we are pleased to announce that Rik Yoshida will 
join us.

Rik is currently Deputy Division Leader of the High Energy Physics 
Division at Argonne National Lab. He has extensive collider physics 
experience. In particular, for many years Rik was a member and 
eventually spokesman of the Zeus Experiment at HERA. More recently he 
has helped to lead ANL efforts on the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. He 
has also served on several committees guiding these endeavors. Rik 
Yoshida is excellently suited  to lead the Jefferson Lab EIC physics and 
detector efforts; we are delighted that he will start on March 1, 2016.

Please join us in welcoming Rik.

Mont
