Jefferson Lab Hosts
Summer Science Poster Session
On Aug. 2, the lab will host a poster session featuring projects and research conducted on campus by college undergraduates. To learn more about the poster session, click here (https://www.jlab.org/news/releases/media-advisory-jefferson-lab-summer-science-poster-session-0) .
DOUBLE POLARIZATION OBSERVABLES IN PENTAQUARK PHOTOPRODUCTION
Given the strong interest triggered by the recent LHCb discovery of pentaquark resonances, the Joint Physics Analysis Center (JPAC) Collaboration has performed a new calculation (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__arxiv.org_abs_1907.09393&d=DwIFaQ&c=CJqEzB1piLOyyvZjb8YUQw&r=huYtXgHboamQCcudwMT5oQ&m=ly5llOBPVHkQUQvVemVlb7-ymiqKd0cBbjwiOscoFNo&s=rw8V5hCf2Yxx_FW1TiHx-laEzuOMkFiiTnOmrGI0nyU&e= ) of the ratios of doubly polarized cross sections for J/Ψ  photoproduction. These results should serve as a benchmark for the SBS experiment at Jefferson Lab, which will measure these observables. This experiment and its proper theoretical interpretation should shed light into the nature of pentaquark states.

ALL-HANDS SAFETY MEETING REMINDER
This is a reminder that tomorrow, Aug. 1, is the last mandatory all-hands meeting for staff to review and discuss lessons learned from the recent safety-related events at the lab. The meeting will be held in the CEBAF Center auditorium. If you have not yet attended a session, it is mandatory to attend the Aug. 1 session. If you have already attended a session, you do not need to attend the Aug. 1 session. The meeting will also be video recorded and made available to our User community at a later time.
* Physics/Theory Division: Thursday, Aug. 1, from 3 - 4 p.m.

Please be sure to take your seat before the meeting begins, to limit disruptions. For more information, click here (https://www.jlab.org/directors-messages/maintaining-lab-safety-all-hands-meetings-scheduled) . For questions, contact Lauren Hansen (mailto:lhansen at jlab.org) at x7689.

------------------------------------------------------------
CMSA CRANE WORK JULY 30 - AUG. 9
On Tuesday, July 30 - Friday, Aug. 9, there will be crane work unloading materials by the Central Material Storage Area near the metal recycle bins and trash dumpsters. The CMSA is located behind the Environment, Safety, Health & Quality (ESH&Q, bldg. 52) and across the street from the Experimental Equipment Lab (EEL, bldg. 90). The delivery will temporarily affect movement space in the CMSA yard. For questions, contact Christian Whalen (mailto:ctwhalen at jlab.org)  at x5899.

HOGAN DRIVE CLOSED AUG. 15 - 16
On Thursday, Aug. 15, and Friday, Aug. 16., the right (southbound) lanes of Hogan Drive will be closed between Hofstadter Road and Rattley Road for the Tech Center Building One dedication event. Access to Hogan Drive is scheduled to reopen on Friday, Aug. 16, at 3 p.m.

Please use these alternate routes when arriving to the lab:
* Enter via Lawrence Drive at Hogan Drive.
* Enter via Hofstadter Road at Hogan Drive.

OR HEN - STUART JAY FREEDMAN AWARD IN EXPERIMENTAL NUCLEAR PHYSICS
Jefferson Lab User Or Hen received the 2019 Stuart Jay Freedman Award in Experimental Nuclear Physics (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.aps.org_programs_honors_prizes_freedman.cfm&d=DwIFaQ&c=CJqEzB1piLOyyvZjb8YUQw&r=huYtXgHboamQCcudwMT5oQ&m=ly5llOBPVHkQUQvVemVlb7-ymiqKd0cBbjwiOscoFNo&s=6WfgA-MX2l5uYCmQ2CcZvZYcDmMU5yoN_4wkGm6yO5M&e= ) , which is presented annually to an outstanding early career experimentalist in nuclear physics.

KURTIS BARTLETT - JSA THESIS PRIZE
Los Alamos National Lab Postdoc Kurtis Bartlett was awarded the 2018 JSA Thesis Prize (https://www.jlab.org/news/releases/considering-container-strengthen-weak-force%E2%80%99s-signal) for making measurements that helped determine the weak charge of the proton.

JUSTIN STEVENS - PRESIDENTIAL EARLY CAREER AWARD FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS
Jefferson Lab User Justin Stevens received a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.wm.edu_news_stories_2019_justin-2Dstevens-2C-2Dof-2Dwm-2Dphysics-2C-2Djlab-2Dgluex-2C-2Dwins-2Dpecase-2Dhonors.php&d=DwIFaQ&c=CJqEzB1piLOyyvZjb8YUQw&r=huYtXgHboamQCcudwMT5oQ&m=ly5llOBPVHkQUQvVemVlb7-ymiqKd0cBbjwiOscoFNo&s=OA3EdTKNoknTRqFXDe30J-9E8VP5FVE9Pb675B3y0Xc&e= ) .

PAC CLOSEOUT AUG. 1
The Program Advisory Committee will hold a recap session open to the lab community. During the recap session, results from the meeting, including PAC's guidance on the proposals presented, will be shared. The closeout meeting will take place Thursday, Aug. 1, from 12 - 12:30 p.m. in the CEBAF Center auditorium.

DAILY TIMEKEEPING REMINDER
All employees are responsible for completing their timesheet on a daily basis. If you opt to keep your time offline, your paper timesheet must match what is recorded in the online timekeeping system. Your paper timesheet must also be made available for an auditor to review at any time. Please do not record time until after you have completed the work. Estimating time or entering time prior to completing the work is not permitted without prior authorization from the Finance Department. For questions, please contact Matt Krug (mailto:mkrug at jlab.org) at x7120.

FEDS FEED FAMILIES JULY 29 - AUG. 9
The DOE's Feds Feed Families program has officially kicked off! Once again, the Thomas Jefferson Site Office will be collecting nonperishable food donations to support the program. Feds Feed Families was created to help food banks and pantries stay stocked during summer months when they traditionally see a decrease in donations and an increase in need. There is no expectation of Jefferson Lab employee participation in this program, although anyone who wishes to donate may do so. A food donation box will be staged in the CEBAF Center main lobby. To view the list of requested items, click here (https://www.jlab.org/memo/feds-feed-families-now-accepting-donations) .

TORNADO SIREN TEST AUG. 2
The monthly tornado warning siren test will occur Friday, Aug 2., at 10:30 a.m. 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. There is no need to take cover if you hear the test.
