EIC Center Announces Fellowship Awards 

The Electron-Ion Collider Center at Jefferson Lab has been established to advance and promote the science program of a possible future EIC facility through education, collaboration and outreach. Now, the center has just announced the winners of four fellowships to pursue research related to a proposed EIC. Read more here . 

				
		
		


THEORETICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS 
In a new paper , the JPAC collaboration has derived and applied finite energy sum rules to study pion photoproduction. The low energy part of the sum rules is evaluated using several state of the art models. Furthermore, a model formulated in terms of a Regge-pole expansion, that respects the sum rules and matches the high-energy behavior of observables, is presented. 
ESH&Q 
Make Fall Safety a Top Priority 
According to the National Safety Council, 47,120 were injured in falls at home and at work badly enough to require days off in 2013. It’s important to note that one does not have to fall from a high level to suffer injuries. Half of all fatal falls in 2013 occurred from 20 feet or lower and 11 percent were from less than 6 feet, according to Injury Facts 2016®. To prevent falls, it is important to plan ahead. Determine if working from a height is absolutely necessary or if there is another way to accomplish the task at hand. If you must work from a height, make sure you are properly trained to use the equipment selected. Set equipment up on level ground. If working outside, check the weather forecast; never work in inclement weather. Maintain three points of contact (e.g. two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand). Wear slip-resistant shoes and don't lean or reach. For more information, see Jefferson Lab ES&H Manual Chapter 6132 Ladder and Scaffold Safety and SAF 307 Ladder Safety Training . 
COMPUTING 
IT Division Prepares to Roll Out Microsoft Office365 
Later this year, the Jefferson Lab IT Division will transition the email, calendar and business productivity software products to the Microsoft Office365 platform. The platform will include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote and OneDrive, and it will allow JSA staff members to access the online versions of these products from any computer. Currently, extensive testing is underway to ensure a smooth transition to the new system. More information will be announced as the transition approaches. If you have any questions about the transition, contact the IT Division Help Desk at helpdesk at jlab.org or x7155. 


GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS 
Public Address System Test Set for Thursday 
On July 19 at 5:30 p.m., members of the Jefferson Lab Emergency Management Team will conduct the recurring test of the lab’s Public Address (PA) System, the live audible announcement feature that is available through the Cisco phones. No actions are required or expected from members of the lab community with this test. Active calls are automatically put on “hold” and may be re-activated once the announcement has ended. For more information, see the full memo . 



Run-A-Round Merchandise Orders Are In 
Distribution will be held on Thursday and Friday, July 19 and 20, in the CEBAF Center Atrium, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Payment is required to pick up your order; cash and checks will be accepted. All checks should be made payable to JSA or Jefferson Lab. If you have any questions about your order, contact Ashley Mitchell . 

Slots Still Open for Employee Tour: Sign Up Today ! 
An in-depth tour will be offered to Jefferson Lab employees, Users, students and contractors on Tuesday, July 24 , 1:30-4:00 p.m. The tour will include stops at the Test Lab, the CEBAF Accelerator tunnel, and Experimental Halls C and D. Deadline to sign up is July 20 . For more information and signup instructions, see the full memo . 



National Academy of Sciences Plans Release of EIC Report 
A study conducted by the National Academy of Sciences, “Assessment of U.S.-Based Electron Ion Collider Science,” will be released on Tuesday, July 24 at 1 p.m. EDT during a one-hour webinar . The webinar will be live-streamed in the CEBAF Center Auditorium for anyone in the Jefferson Lab community who is interested in viewing the announcement. 

Jefferson Lab News: Annual Users Meeting Highlights Exciting Future Physics 
Future Physics was a hot topic at the 2018 Jefferson Lab Users Group Workshop and Annual Meeting, held June 18 -20. More than 150 members of the Jefferson Lab Users Organization came from across the United States to Jefferson Lab to discuss topics under the umbrella of “From JLab 12 GeV to the EIC.” Read more here . 



Last Chance to Volunteer for the 2018 United Way Day of Caring
