leader for experimental halls A and C, recently received a
major award from the Southeastern Section of the American
Physical Society (SESAPS) for her “excellence in service to
Physics.” Keppel was presented with the 2016 Francis G. Slack
Award during the Nov. 10-12 annual meeting of the Southeastern
Section of the American Physical Society, held in
Charlottesville, Va. For more, see the full article posted at:

Q3 magnet early this month, all of the major components of the
Hall C Super High Momentum Spectrometer (SHMS) are now on
site. Two days after it was delivered, Q3 was in its cradle on
the spectrometer carriage and the iron yoke had been
reassembled around it. Its fully-installed twin, Q2, which
arrived two months earlier, is undergoing power tests at
increasing currents. To date, it has been successfully
operated at more than 90 percent of the anticipated operations
current. See the briefs for more information.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

accepting nominations for the JSA Postdoctoral Research Grant
prize, which recognizes and supports the finest postdocs
affiliated with Jefferson Lab. The basis for picking the top
candidate includes a record of physics accomplishments, a
planned high-impact JLab physics program, proposed use of the
$10,000 research grant, and promise of further accomplishments
in Jefferson Lab research fields in the future. All entries
must be emailed to Lorelei Chopard by Jan. 27, 2017. See the
briefs entry or the memo for details:

Conservation Policy is designed to provide safe, comfortable
conditions and energy efficient operation of heating, cooling
and lighting equipment throughout the site. To reduce energy
consumption and costs, air handling ventilation fans serving
office areas will automatically shut down at 5 p.m. instead of
6 p.m. Also, prior to the holiday shutdown, please remove all
personal (not Lab owned) appliances including portable
heaters, compact refrigerators, coffee makers, microwave
ovens, etc. from the site. These devices are prohibited at the
lab. They contribute to increased energy consumption, impact
the effectiveness of automated building temperature controls,
and can also represent an unsafe fire-hazard concern. During
the holiday shutdown, Lab security will conduct a site-wide
survey to assure personal appliances have been removed. See
the memo for more information:
