The deadline for fellowship consideration is April 2, 2012.<br>
<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.
<br>
<br>
Speakers and topics to include. . .
<br>
<br>
/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>
Tanja Horn, Catholic University of America, Meson Electroproduction and
Imaging Studies
<br>
Paul Reimer, Argonne National Laboratory, Flavor Structure and
Electroweak Interactions

/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. All students will be notified by
April 30, 2012 of acceptance.<br>
