<pre><b>26th Annual Hampton University Graduate Studies (HUGS) at The Thomas Jefferson
<span></span>National Accelerator Facility</b>
<span></span>May 31-June 17, 2011
<span></span>
<span></span>Applications are now being accepted for HUGS 2011 to be held at
<span></span>Jefferson Lab in Newport News, Virginia. The deadline for fellowship
<span></span>consideration is April 12, 2011.
<span></span>
<span></span>Through grant support from the United States Department of Energy (DOE),
<span></span>the 26th Annual Hampton University Graduate Studies (HUGS) Program at the
<span></span>Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) is
<span></span>scheduled to run from Tuesday, May 31 to Friday, June 17, 2011. Students
<span></span>will arrive on Monday, May 30 and depart on Saturday, June 18.
<span></span>
<span></span>The HUGS Program at Jefferson Lab is a summer school designed for second
<span></span>and third year experimental or theoretical nuclear/particle physics
<span></span>graduate students who have finished (or nearly finished) their
<span></span>coursework. Students who are well into a research project are encouraged
<span></span>to apply as well. Acceptance into the program is competitive. The
<span></span>2011 school will focus on experimental and theoretical topics in
<span></span>electron scattering, QCD, strong interactions, nucleon structure, and
<span></span>nuclear interactions of high current interest.
<span></span>
<span></span>Speakers and topics to include...
<span></span><span>
</span>Alberto Accardi, Hampton University/JLab, <i>Deep Inelastic Scattering and
<span></span>Global QCD Fits of Parton Distributions</i>
<span></span>Abhay Deshpande, Stony Brook University, <i>Longitudinal Spin Structure</i>
<span></span>Rafaella De Vita, INFN Genova, <i>Light-Quark Meson Spectroscopy</i>
<span></span>Vadim Guzey, Jefferson Lab, <i>Nuclear Effects in High Energy Lepton-Nucleus
<span></span>Scattering</i>
<span></span>Alexei Prokudin, Jefferson Lab, <i>Theory and Phenomenology of Transverse
<span></span>Momentum Dependent Distributions</i>
<span></span>Misak Sargsian, Florida International University, <i>Quarks in Nuclei:
<span></span>Introduction to Hard Nuclear Processes</i>
<span></span>Steffen Strauch, University of South Carolina, <i>Hadrons in the Nuclear Medium</i>
<span></span><span>
</span>While attending the HUGS Program at the Jefferson Lab summer school,
<span></span>students will attend all lectures and seminars offered. The program is
<span></span>simultaneously intensive, friendly, and casual. The lecturers are
<span></span>internationally renowned leaders in their fields. The students will be
<span></span>housed on site at Jefferson Lab. There will be many opportunities to
<span></span>interact with Jefferson Lab staff, as well as the lecturers, other
<span></span>graduate students, and visitors. Students receive insight into
<span></span>the type of physics to be performed at Jefferson Lab in the upcoming years.
<span></span>
<span></span>Funding limitations require us to restrict the number of fellowships
<span></span>that will be awarded. Each fellowship will cover tuition, fees, room and
<span></span>board, and reimbursement of most, if not all, of the student's domestic,
<span></span>second-class round-trip airfare or mileage, whichever is less. Foreign
<span></span>students' transportation reimbursement will include most, if not all,
<span></span>travel to and from the point-of-entry into the United States. Students
<span></span>will need to supply funds for incidentals, extra meals, etc.
<span></span>
<span></span>To apply to the HUGS at Jefferson Lab 2011 summer school,
<span></span>submit to the address below a completed application, letter of request
<span></span>for consideration of acceptance into the program, and at least one
<span></span>letter of recommendation. Submission as such will automatically place
<span></span>the student in the fellowship competition. The deadline for application
<span></span>submittal is April 12, 2011. Students should be notified by
<span></span>April 29, 2011 of acceptance.
