January 4 Briefs Excerpts: 

12 GeV Upgrade 
As the 12 GeV Upgrade Project nears the commissioning phase for Halls B and C, the last of the scheduled modules of the Accelerator Readiness Review (ARR) is scheduled for Jan. 9 and 10. The ARR committee is charged with determining if Jefferson Lab is prepared to deliver beam for the commissioning and operation of Experimental End Stations (Halls) B and C, and the experimental equipment associated with the 12 GeV Upgrade Project, in a safe and efficient manner. To this end, both halls are continuing with the installation of the remaining magnets, detectors, beamline components and associated infrastructure/services. 

Hall A 
Hall A completed the planned run for the "DVCS" and "GMp" experiments E12-06-114 and E12-07-108, Measurements of the Electron-Helicity Dependent Cross Sections of the Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering with CEBAF at 12 GeV, and Precision Measurement of the Proton Elastic Cross Section at High Q2. This marks the completion of the first experimental effort using the 11 GeV beam in the hall. 

Hall B (12 GeV Upgrade) 
In Hall B, the Central Time of Flight has been placed on the mock-up support stand, and installation is underway. Hall B also continues working the various detectors’ gas delivery systems and remaining utilities. Hall C has installed the beamline supports and continues with hookup of the Q3 and dipole magnets. 

Hall C 
In Hall C, all of the new Super High Momentum Spectrometer magnets have arrived, and the hall is in the installation and testing phase in preparation for first beam this spring. 

Publications Training and Refresher Course Offered 
Start the New Year off right and brush up on the JLab Publications Process! JLab must submit the final, peer reviewed, accepted manuscripts to the Department of Energy. Visit the website for information on how to do this and/or R.S.V.P. to attend the next Publications Training and Refresher course on Wednesday, Jan. 11, at 2 p.m. in CEBAF Center room F224-225. In this session, authors will learn how to submit manuscripts to the Publications Review and Approval System, how to make recommended revisions to papers during the signature process, and how to add the relevant information once the paper is published. If you will attend, notify Kim Edwards at kindrew at jlab.org by Tuesday, Jan. 10. 

Jefferson Lab MFA Roll-Out Continues 
More than 200 multi-factor authentication (MFA) smartcards were passed out in December. If you require a smartcard and have not yet received one, see the latest card issuance schedule and other information on the website: https://www.jlab.org/mfa 

Red Cross Blood Drive Scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 24 
The next American Red Cross Blood Drive will take place Tuesday, Jan. 24, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. in CEBAF Center room F113. New and repeat donors are encouraged to attend. Walk-ins are welcome. All participation is greatly appreciated. To schedule an appointment, visit redcrossblood.org and enter Sponsor Code: TJNAF. You can also schedule an appointment by contacting Johnie Banks at jbanks at jlab.org or x7539. Visit the website for donation eligibility requirements: http://www.redcrossblood.org/donating-blood/eligibility-requirements 

Volunteers Sought to Help with Engineering/STEM Career Days on Feb. 23-24 
Jefferson Lab will be participating once again in the Engineering/STEM Career Days on Thursday, Feb. 23, and Friday, Feb. 24, 2017, 8 a.m.-1 p.m., at Newport News Shipbuilding. Science Education is seeking engineers, scientists and technicians who are willing to talk to high school students about their careers. The day is formatted as such: The high school students will rotate through four preassigned tables, each staffed by one of our JLab volunteers. For each 15 minute rotation, our staff will talk about their careers, backgrounds, etc. Upon completion of the final rotation, students will stay at that table to participate in a design challenge (which Science Education will provide). Then event will conclude with lunch! If you are interested in volunteering or have questions, contact Brita R. Hampton at hampton at jlab.org by Wednesday, Jan. 25. Volunteers may sign up for one day or for both days. 

Reminder: 2017 General Access RWP Available for Review and Signature 
The 2017 General Access Radiological Work Permit (SAF801kd) is available for signature. If you are a radiation worker at Jefferson Lab, you must read and electronically sign the new RWP by Jan. 6 to retain your accelerator site access. This year’s RWP contains new restrictions/policies. Be sure to read this document in its entirety. You may access this document from off-site. The document can be found on the web-based training page. You may need to clear your cache from your web browser to see the newest RWP. If you have trouble with the links or with signing the document, contact Becky Mosbrucker at becky at jlab.org or x7236.
