*The 30th Annual Hampton University Graduate Studies Program
at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility**
**June 1–19, 2015
*
Applications are now being accepted for HUGS 2015 to be held at
Jefferson Lab in Newport News, Virginia.
*Deadline for Fellowship consideration is April 2, 2015.*
With support from the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and
Jefferson Science Associates (JSA), the 30th Annual Hampton University
Graduate Studies (HUGS) Program at the Thomas Jefferson National
Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) is scheduled to run from Monday,
June 1 to Friday, June 19, 2015. Students will arrive on Sunday, May 31
and depart on Saturday, June 20.
The HUGS Program at Jefferson Lab is a summer school designed for
experimental and theoretical nuclear and particle physics graduate
students who have finished their coursework and have at least one year
of research experience in these fields. Students who are well into a
research project are also encouraged to apply. The program is
simultaneously intensive, friendly, and casual. All lecturers are
internationally renowned and leaders in their fields. The students will
be housed on site at Jefferson Lab, and there will be many opportunities
to interact with Jefferson Lab staff, as well as the lecturers, other
graduate students and visitors. Acceptance into the program is competitive.
The 2015 school will focus on experimental and theoretical topics of
high current interest in strong interaction physics. In particular,
students will receive excellent insight into the physics to be studied
at Jefferson Lab in the upcoming years, as well as related topics of
interest in nuclear and particle physics. Speakers and topics this year
include:*//**//*
·*/Dyson-Schwinger Equation and Hadron Properties/*, Ian Cloet (Argonne
National Laboratory)
·/**/*/Nuclear Physics Lattice QCD, /*Will Detmold (Massachusetts
Institute of Technology)
·/**/*/QCD Structure of the Nucleon and Spin Physics,/* Zhong-bo Kang
(Los Alamos National Laboratory)
·/**/*/Parity-Violating Electron Scattering Experiments, /*Juliette
Mammei (University of Manitoba)
·*/Meson Spectroscopy – /*Matt Shepherd (Indiana University)
·*/LHC – Heavy Ion Physics – /*Bolek Wyslouch (Massachusetts Institute
of Technology)
In addition to the main lectures, the school will offer topical seminars
by Jefferson Lab researchers. At the end of the school, and as an
integral part of it, students will have the opportunity to present a
short seminar on their current research.
We will be able to offer a limited number of fellowships that will cover
room and board. In addition to these, we are proud to announce the
*/JSA/HUGS International Fellowship for Graduate Students in Developing
Countries/*//supported by the JSA Initiatives Fund Program. Under this
fellowship we will be able to support one graduate student from a
developing country, fully covering travel expenses (including
international airfare), room, board and an additional week at Jefferson
Lab to meet with the laboratory researchers and users, and to initiate
or strengthen a research collaboration.
To apply to the HUGS 2015 at Jefferson Lab summer school, please visit
http://www.jlab.org/hugs/ <http://www.jlab.org/hugs/s>and submit along
with your personal data, a letter of request for consideration of
acceptance into the program, and arrange for one letter of
recommendation (ideally from your Ph.D. advisor) to be separately sent
at the address below. Submission as such will automatically place the
student in the standard fellowship competition. To be considered for the
/JSA/HUGS International Fellowship for Graduate Students in Developing
Countries**/an additional motivation letter should be sent to Prof.
Alberto Accardi (accardi at jlab.org) and Dr. Cesar Fernandez-Ramirez
(cesar at jlab.org) addressing the research interests of the candidate.*The
deadline for application submission is April 2, 2015*. Applications will
still be accepted after this date but will not be included in the
fellowship competition. *Students will be notified by April 20, 2015 of
acceptance.
