As of today, Monday, Nov. 10, we can confirm the continuation of full operations at the lab through Friday, Nov. 28. ????Important details you may want to know and plan for:? * Thursday, Nov. 27: Thanksgiving Day (lab closed) * Friday, Nov. 28: Day after Thanksgiving (lab closed) * Please note these important updates related to the federal government shutdown and potential furlough impacts for the user community: Remote Computing Access If the lab were to furlough employees, the following measures will be taken until the furlough was lifted, and Jefferson Lab restarted normal operations: * User access to Jefferson Lab computing systems would be suspended. * E-mail access, access to internal web servers and file systems, and access to scientific and LQCD computing resources would be unavailable. * Users will not be able to create virtual meetings using third-party services, such as Zoom.gov, using their Jefferson Lab login credentials. They would still be able to attend Zoom meetings created elsewhere if provided with the meeting login information. Site Access During a furlough: * User access to Jefferson Lab facilities, including the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF), will be prohibited. * All scientific users, including students and visiting researchers, would not be permitted on site. Please consult with your home institutions on your work and project expectations while unable to access the Jefferson Lab site or its computing resources during this time. Residence Facility The Residence Facility is expected to remain open; however, we advise you to remain cautious while planning for travel, meetings, and visits to the lab. Please coordinate with your primary Jefferson Lab contact to discuss any such plans, or other activities that could be affected by the government shutdown. For additional information on residence facility availability, please contact them at 757-223-1167 or visit https://sura.org/resfac21/. As ever, we appreciate your patience in these uncertain times and deeply value your partnership. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This award honors the memory of the late Guido Altarelli, one of the founding fathers of QCD. It will be presented at the 2026 DIS Workshop in Bologna, Italy from 4-8 May 2026. This award recognizes junior scientists, both from the experimental and theoretical disciplines, for outstanding contributions to the fields covered by the DIS Conference series. Candidates for the prize should have a maximum of eight years of research experience (excluding career interruptions) following the Ph.D. on the first day of the conference. There is one award for an experimentalist, and one award for a theorist. Please find information for the 2026 Award at: https://www.physics.smu.edu/~olness/AltarelliAward/ and the nomination form at: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30479 The deadline for nominations is 01 December 2025. Please nominate candidates in your community and forward this announcement to other colleagues. Regards, The Selection Committee P.S. The application site is here: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30479 General information about the Guido Altarelli Award is here: https://www.physics.smu.edu/~olness/AltarelliAward/ The DIS2026 webpage is here: https://dis2026.infn.it/ We are grateful to our sponsors: Centro Fermi, EPJ Springer, and World Scientific. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

"Parton structure of the pion and kaon from QCD analysis of experimental & lattice data" Wally Melnitchouk Abstract: This talk will review recent results from the JAM Collaboration on pion and kaon parton distribution functions (PDFs), constrained by experimental Drell-Yan and leading neutron electroproduction data, together with lattice QCD calculations of PDF moments. The analysis indicates a softer valence up-quark distribution in the K+ compared with the ?+, and provides the first empirical evidence for significantly different valence up and anti-strange densities in the kaon. Inclusion of recent lattice calculations of gluonic pseudo Ioffe-time distributions also significantly reduces uncertainties on the gluon PDF, revealing a higher gluon density in the pion at large momentum fractions than in the proton. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The laboratory will continue to be open to staff and users, continuing operations as normal albeit within some budgetary constraints necessitated by a CR. As ever, please work with your Hall Leaders and other standard laboratory contacts should you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing you at the laboratory, Thia -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
