<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">In 2019 the accelerator ran in summer at low energy and because of that the fall run was short.
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">In total, Hall D has run for about 90 days in 2019, doing:
<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>First run of PRIMEX-eta (E12-10-011) - 53 calendar days or 30% of the PAC-allocated time<br>
</li><li>Commissioning of the DIRC for GlueX-II (E12-12-002) - 38 calendar days or about 20 PAC days = 9% of PAC-allocated time<br>
</li></ul>
<div>New detectors - the CompCal for PRIMEX and the DIRC for GlueX - have been successfully installed and commissioned.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The GlueX collaboration published the first PRL paper and one PRC paper. Two other PRC papers are at the final stage of editing.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">The next run is scheduled for Jan, 10 - May, 6, 2020. It will be the first production run of GlueX-II.
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Due to the planned CHL upgrade there will be no running from May 2020 till January 2021.
<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>
