<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Dear colleagues,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">The year 2018 was very productive for the Jefferson Lab in general and Hall D in particular. The accelerator provided stable 4-hall operations. All 4 halls have run very successfully.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Hall D has run for 178 calendar days of beam time! We finished the data taking for the first stage of the GlueX experiment - E12-06-102 - with 80% of the data accumulated just in 2018, and started the commissioning of
the PrimeX-eta experiment - E12-10-011.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">The next run is scheduled for Jan, 30 - Apr, 7, 2019. The first two weeks will be dedicated to the DIRC commissioning, while the rest - to the PrimeX-eta experiment.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Thanks to everyone who worked hard to make this year productive!</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Eugene</p>
