June 4 - June 22, 2012<br>
<br>
</b>Applications are now being accepted for HUGS 2012 to be held at

<br>
Through grant support from the United States Department of Energy
(DOE), the 27th Annual Hampton University Graduate Studies (HUGS)
Program at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
(Jefferson Lab) is scheduled to run from Monday, June 4 to Friday, June
22, 2012. Students will arrive on Sunday, June 3 and depart on
Saturday, June 23.<br>
<br>
The HUGS Program at Jefferson Lab is a summer school designed for
second and third year experimental or theoretical nuclear/particle
physics graduate students who have finished (or nearly finished) their
coursework. Students who are well into a research project are
encouraged to apply as well. Acceptance into the program is
competitive. The 2012 school will focus on experimental and
theoretical topics in electronic scattering, QCD, strong interactions,
nucleon structure, and nuclear interactions of high current interest.<span

Speakers and topics to include. . .<br>
<br>
<i>Maria-Elena Boglione, University of Turin & INFN Turin,
Transverse Momentum of Partons<br>
Jozef Dudek, Old Dominion University/JLab, Insights into the Spectrum
of Hadrons from Lattice QCD<br>
Josh Erlich, College of William & Mary, Dualities and QCD<br>

</i>While attending the HUGS Program at the Jefferson Lab summer
school, students will attend all lectures and seminars offered. The
program is simultaneously intensive, friendly, and casual. The
lecturers are internationally renowned leaders in their fields. The
students will be housed on site at Jefferson Lab. There will be many
opportunities to interact with Jefferson Lab staff, as well as the
lecturers, other graduate students, and visitors. Students receive
insight into the type of physics to be performed at Jefferson Lab in
the upcoming years.<br>
<br>
Funding limitations require us to restrict the number of fellowships
that will be awarded. Each fellowship will cover tuition, fees, room
and board, and reimbursement of most, if not all, of the student's
domestic, second-class round-trip airfare or mileage, whichever is
less. Foreign students' transportation reimbursement will include
most, if not all, travel to and from the point-of-entry into the United
States. Students will need to supply funds for incidentals, extra
meals, etc.<br>
<br>
To apply to HUGS 2012 at Jefferson Lab summer school, submit to the
address below a completed application, letter of request for
consideration of acceptance into the program, and at least one letter
of recommendation. Submission as such will automatically place the
student in the fellowship competition. <b>The deadline for
application submittal is April 2, 2012.</b> Applications will still be
accepted after this date but fellowships will only be awarded to
students submitting applications by the April 2 deadline. <b>All
students will be notified by April 30, 2012 of acceptance.</b><br>
