JSA Sponsors Annual Teacher Night Event 

Elementary and middle school teachers interested in learning new and innovative methods for teaching the physical sciences are invited to register for the Jefferson Science Associates Region II Teacher Night at Jefferson Lab on Wednesday, April 11 . Read more here . 

				
		
		



ACCELERATOR/EXPERIMENTAL NUCLEAR PHYSICS 
Work continued toward bringing the CEBAF Accelerator back online for a strong finish to its spring run. On Saturday , the pair of replacement transformers for the Central Helium Liquefier (CHL1) arrived on-site. The first transformer has been installed, and the custom work needed to mate it to Jefferson Lab systems is complete. The transformer will be powered up and run (no load) overnight. Work will begin on the second transformer Friday . Assuming all goes well and the weather cooperates, Accelerator Operations plans to return to a 24/7 schedule next week. In parallel with the transformer swaps, work continues on many different systems to make the most of the downtime. Beam has been restored in the Injector to optimize the front end for simultaneous high-current running to Halls A and C. Additionally, further radiofrequency recovery of cavities is underway to improve overall gradient (energy) in the machine. 

THEORETICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS 
A new paper shows how a recently proposed relativistic three-particle quantization condition can be used to study three-body systems via lattice QCD. The work demonstrates numerically how future finite-volume spectra obtained in lattice QCD may be related to infinite-volume scattering amplitudes. These techniques are tested by numerically reproducing known analytic results for the inverse-length expansion of the threshold state, the volume dependence of three-particle bound-state energies, and the Bethe-Salpeter wave functions for these bound states . 

ESH&Q 
Virginia to Hold Annual Statewide Tornado Drill on Tuesday, March 20 
The Virginia Department of Emergency Management will conduct its annual statewide Tornado Drill on Tuesday, March 20 , 2018, at 9:45 a.m. While Jefferson Lab’s Tornado Siren will sound as a system test; no lab-wide response is planned. The statewide Tornado Drill is an opportunity to prepare Virginians for tornado emergencies and to test public warning systems. To read more, see the full memo . 

FACILITIES MANAGEMENT & LOGISTICS 
Incomplete Validations and Filing Missing Item Reports 
Property Management is seeking help from Property Custodians in closing out incomplete validations and filing missing item reports. The annual Jefferson Lab Property Validation period ended on Feb. 28, and a number of individuals have not yet completed their inventory checks. Additionally, you may need to file a Missing Item Report if you have not completed your validation because an item cannot be located. For more information and helpful links, see the full memo . 

COMPUTING 
IT Division Maintenance Period Set for 5 p.m. on March 20 
The IT Division is planning a maintenance period for 5-8 p.m. on Tuesday, March 20 . During this time, network switches will be upgraded in the Technology and Engineering Development Building, which will cause phones, desktops and wireless access to be down. The outage will start at around 5:30 p.m., and everything should be back online by 6:30 p.m. Updates and patches to centrally managed Common User Environment software, such as Windows, Linux and Firefox, will be released to all managed desktops and servers. There will be intermittent outages of central services, such as webservers and login servers, while the underlying servers are rebooted to finalize patch installation. Plan on rebooting your Windows or Linux desktop by Friday, March 23 , to finalize patch installations. If you have any questions or concerns about this maintenance period, contact the IT Division Help Desk at helpdesk at jlab.org or x7155. 

Network Outage Planned for SSC Building on March 15 
On Thursday, March 15 , starting at 5:30 p.m., the IT Division Network group will be replacing/upgrading network devices in the east side of the Support Service Center. During this outage, all desktops, phones, and wireless access will be offline. All networking will be restored no later than 7:30 p.m. Plan your work accordingly. If you have any questions or concerns about this outage, contact the IT Division Help Desk at helpdesk at jlab.org or x7155. 


GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS 
Reminder: Golfers Interested in Joining the Golf League Meet March 15 
The Jefferson Lab Golf League is open to all current staff, retirees, users and their spouses. All levels of pla y and weekly availability are welcomed. A 2018 organizational meeting will be held on Thursday, March 15 , noon-1:00 p.m. in CEBAF Center room F113. No food will be served at the meeting, but attendees are welcome to bring their lunch or purchase something from the cafeteria. For more informatio n, see the full notice . 

Brown Bag Your Lunch with JLEIC Experts 
Learn more about Jefferson Lab’s efforts toward an Electron-Ion Collider from the scientists who are making it happen. This weekly brown bag lunch series is aimed at scientists of all levels. Bring your own lunch and curiosity to the next meeting on Tuesday, March 20 , in CEBAF Center room A110 at noon. 

Don’t Miss the ODU Physics Department Open House on March 17 
The Old Dominion University Physics Department will hold an open house for the public on Saturday, March 17 , 1-5 p.m. It will feature tours of research labs, planetarium shows, and a variety of hands-on activities and live demonstrations. For more information, see the website . 

TIAA-CREF Individual Counseling Sessions Available 
TIAA-CREF is offering Individual Counseling Sessions at Jefferson Lab on May 17 , where you can discuss your personal financial situation with a consultant on a confidential basis. The consultant will be available to discuss how to help you achieve your financial goals by investing in financial solutions, such as mutual funds, brokerage, life insurance and annuities. Currently, three appointments are available on May 17 . To schedule an appointment, call TIAA-CREF at (800) 732-8353 , Monday through Friday , 9 a.m.–8 p.m. These appointments will be held in Support Service Center room 221. 

Editorial Guide Issued 
The Communications Office has posted the new Editorial Standards Guide for use by the Jefferson Lab community. The guide will help promote coherence and consistency in lab communications and addresses common issues of grammar, punctuation, style and usage for public documents, presentations and website content. You can access the guide via the logo and template download page, here . 

12 GeV Upgrade Recognized in White House Report 
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has published a report that features a selection of achievements in science and technology from the last year. You can read it on page eight here . 

Video Features Secretary Perry Visit 
In case you missed it, a video featuring the Secretary of Energy, Rick Perry, during his visit to Jefferson Lab in late February has been posted online . 

CONTACT 
The JLab Weekly provides information on the status of safety, accelerator operations, experiments, reviews, upcoming activities and special events. Deadline for submission is every Tuesday by 10 a.m. Submit new items to: the Communications Office or contact Kandice Carter at x7263.
