Physics at Jefferson Lab (LEEPP at JLab) The longtime interest for positron beams at Jefferson Lab (JLab) forms the basis for an upgrade initiative known as ?Ce+BAF 12 GeV?. It will feature high duty factor beams with intensities up to 1 ?A within a high duty factor. The positrons for these beams will be produced in the bremsstrahlung shower generated by a lower energy 1 mA electron beam impinging on a high-Z target, utilizing the PEPPo (Polarized Electrons for Polarized Positrons) technique for producing highly spin-polarized positrons in a compact accelerator footprint. This methodology opens up the possibility of also producing lower energy positron beams with high intensity and spin polarization. Beams generated from this source would enable unique experimental programs at JLab with the perspective to reveal details of the electromagnetic interaction, unravel the structure of nucleons and nuclei, and investigate the existence of physics beyond the standard model. The success of Ce+BAF 12 GeV relies on the development of crucial R&D for generating the required electron and positron beams. Consequently, new capabilities should emerge in the mean time, with opportunities for low-energy (sub-GeV) Nuclear Physics, Atomic Physics and Materials Science. Notably, this R&D aims at intense beams both for generation of polarized electrons at mA intensity and linac based positron beams that have the potential to exceed present capabilities by orders of magnitude. Altogether, output of this effort has a great potential to facilitate a venue for low energy e+/e- physics. The LEEPP at JLab International Workshop aims to explore new pathways for Science with both unpolarized/polarized electron and positron beams. Beam energies ranging from 1-100 MeV for both species as well as moderated/slow positrons to several eV are within the scope of this workshop. LEEPP at JLab will be held at Jefferson Lab, March 23rd-27th, 2026. The workshop will include invited talks and selected contributions on the following topics: * Positron sources, related equipment and diagnostics * Nuclear Physics * Atomic Physics * Materials Science * Tests of the Standard Model Physics Registration are opened at the link https://www.jlab.org/conference/LEEPP Conference abstracts should be submitted at https://indico.jlab.org/event/964 Looking forward to see you at the workshop.

Pierre began his graduate studies in 1960 as the first student of the newly established Laboratoire de Physique Corpusculaire et Nucl?aire in Clermont-Ferrand, France. His doctoral work focused on the use of nuclear emulsions to study hardened bremsstrahlung photon beams. He defended his Ph.D. in 1966 before a committee chaired by R. Hofstadter and was subsequently recruited as a researcher at CNRS, the French state research organization. Pierre?s research thereafter focused on electromagnetic interactions and pion physics, with experiments conducted at LAL in Orsay, France; at ALS at CEA-Saclay, France; and during an extended stay at Los Alamos. During this period, he also carried out at least one experiment at the Newport News NASA Cyclotron facility, then operating in what is now the Jefferson Lab Test Lab building. In the late 1980s and 1990s, Pierre was a strong advocate for the ELFE project, a proposal for a 25-GeV electron facility in France. In parallel, he and members of his electromagnetic probe group became involved in hadronic studies at SLAC and at Jefferson Lab. Pierre was a leader of the French institutional investment at Jefferson Lab and remained an overseas user for more than 20 years. At Jefferson Lab, Pierre pioneered virtual Compton scattering measurements in both the low-energy regime (polarizabilities) and the high-energy regime (generalized parton distributions). In Hall A, he made foundational contributions to instrumentation, including the Compton polarimeter, and developed the ?ep? apparatus, which enabled a calibration of the CEBAF beam energy with unprecedented precision. Pierre was known for his distinctive frankness, exceptional experimental expertise, and deep commitment to mentoring generations of students and young colleagues. Many of those he mentored remain active Jefferson Lab users, and four are currently staff scientists at the laboratory. Pierre lived life with great enthusiasm. He loved his family and his native Auvergne region of France. He was for many years a gliding instructor?and took great pride in passing this passion on to his grandchildren. Until the very end of his life, he embraced living fully: teaching mathematics to his grandchildren, picking mushrooms, cooking elaborate meals, and watching rugby with friends. Pierre died of a heart attack after a short hospital stay. He is survived by his wife, Martine; his two children; four grandchildren; three siblings; and many nephews and nieces, including myself. We already miss him very much. [pierre.jpeg] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This conference series began in 2001 at Mainz University. The Seville meeting follows the successful events in York (2024) and Genoa (2022); and will canvas similar themes. It will highlight the physics of baryons and related subjects in astro-, nuclear- and particle-physics, developing our understanding of the spectrum, structure and reactions of baryons using all available tools. Particular emphasis will be placed on elucidating the role of confinement and emergent mass, key non-perturbative phenomena within the Standard Model. Recent developments at existing facilities and those anticipated from the next-generation will also be showcased. We would appreciate your help in distributing this announcement, along with the attached document, to those of your colleagues who may be interested in attending NSTAR 2026.

The notification process and transition services were conducted based on feedback and benchmarking from other laboratories, universities, subject matter experts, and colleagues in our community, while prioritizing the safety, dignity and respect of all involved. This workforce restructuring impacts valued colleagues or friends across the laboratory, and we acknowledge the significant effect it has on our entire organization. These decisions were not made lightly. They come after a thorough review of our mission priorities and commitments to stakeholders, including the community. Focus has served us well and we will need to maintain discipline to move forward. Focus means clear orientation on promised deliverables but also means saying no to elements that are outside these focus areas, reducing duplication or redundancies and providing opportunities for future growth. Unfortunately, that means saying goodbye to talented individuals who have contributed in the past to our mission. We are very grateful for the dedication and hard work of those affected. To support their transition, JSA is providing severance packages, benefits coordination and outplacement services. Please know that the leadership team and I are here to support you. If you have questions or need someone to talk to, we encourage you to reach out to your manager, HR, or take advantage of our Employee Assistance Program (EAP). You may contact the EAP Provider, ComPysch confidentially, at 1-877-616-0508. You can also access the EAP counseling on-line services resource by signing into: ComPsych Website: www.guidanceresources.com Enter your company ID: JEFFLAB I'm sure there are still many questions regarding restructuring efforts and how you will be impacted related to workload and assignments. I assure you that the leadership team has discussed these important details, and have considered the impact and focus requirements to maintain reasonable workloads. These considerations were critical in guiding our decisions. You should expect to see detailed information about these identified organizational changes from your division head next week. I also plan to hold a Town Hall meeting with you in the very near future, to provide transparency and answer questions. We remain committed to keeping you informed and continuing to support each other through this transition. Thank you for your continued dedication and resilience.
