Physicist Takes Cues from Artificial Intelligence 

Cristiano Fanelli has been awarded the 2018 JSA Postdoctoral Prize for innovative solutions in optimizing particle detectors. Read more here . 

				
		
		


THEORETICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS 
A new JPAC paper compares the CLAS measurement of di-pion resonances with theoretical predictions. Outside the resonance region, the data are seen to agree well with ab-initio predictions from long-range one-pion exchange dynamics. The resonances f 0 (980) and f 2 (1260) appear to be produced from a short-range mechanism, possibly revealing their QCD components. 


ESH&Q 
Stay Safe on the Streets Near Construction Areas 
As we all know, the area surrounding Jefferson Lab, including Oyster Point, Jefferson Ave., City Center Blvd. and Canon Blvd., is undergoing major construction. Large trucks are bringing and taking away equipment and supplies; roads are being re-routed and widened; and buildings are going up. With all of this activity, it is important to be aware of and abide by all posted traffic control signs and devices. 

In particular, navigating the Hogan Drive and Rattley Road intersection can be particularly tricky. This intersection includes Jefferson Lab's main delivery entrance and is also used heavily by transportation workers and others. It is adjacent to a major construction project, and the corner has poor visibility at times. This is a reminder to be extra careful when approaching this intersection: stay in your designated lane, slow down and watch out for the hazards in this area. 

COMPUTING 
IT Division Continues Preparing for Roll Out of Microsoft Office365 
During the winter holiday shutdown, 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. Training sessions will be offered in advance of the transition every Tuesday and Thursday in December at 2 p.m. in CEBAF Center room F113. If you have any questions about the transition, contact the IT Division Help Desk at helpdesk at jlab.org or x7155. 

Can't Wait to Make the Move to Office365? Migrate Early! 
Currently, extensive testing is underway to ensure a smooth transition to the new system. If you'd like to join the testing group, email the IT Division Help Desk . 


GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS 
Tornado Warning Siren Test Set for Friday 
Jefferson Lab's tornado warning siren will undergo its monthly operational test at 10:30 a.m. on Friday , Nov. 2. Individuals planning to be in the Central Materials Storage Area (where the siren is located) while the test is taking place must have with them and wear two layers of hearing protection. 



2018 Flu Vaccine Offered via Walk-In Periods Next Week 
Occupational Medicine is offering Influenza vaccinations to Jefferson Science Associates staff via brief walk-in periods next week. For walk-in dates and times, the vaccination consent form, and a link to the vaccine information sheet, see the full memo . 

Machine Learning Seminar Offered on Nov. 6 
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning methods may allow for the acceleration of research in nuclear physics. In the EIC Center seminar on Nov. 6, Anima Anandkumar, Caltech, will address “Opportunities for infusing physics and domain knowledge into AI/ML algorithms.” Other speakers will provide an overview of scientific machine learning R&D and specific use cases for machine learning methods in high energy and nuclear physics. The seminar will be held in CEBAF Center room F113 at 11 a.m. For more information and to participate remotely, see the full announcement . 



Colloquium: Applying Particle Accelerator Technology to Study Life 
TRIUMF has leveraged its extensive particle accelerator expertise and infrastructure to explore novel technology to better understand life at the molecular level. Paul Schaffer, associate lab director of the Life Sciences Division at TRIUMF, will present a summary of efforts to produce various metallic isotopes using both liquid and solid target types and will discuss the production of various alpha- and Auger-emitting isotopes for therapeutic applications. Additional topics will include a discussion of emerging research efforts in the study of biological systems, treating disease with unprecedented sensitivity and accuracy, and an overview of future TRIUMF initiatives. The colloquium will be held Nov. 7 at 3 p.m. in the CEBAF Center Auditorium. 

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.
