</div>
<div>FYI there won’t be an analysis meeting next week as we will have the Hall A Winter Collaboration meeting (<a href="https://indico.jlab.org/event/893/timetable/#20250115.detailed">https://indico.jlab.org/event/893/timetable/#20250115.detailed</a>). Please
register if you haven’t registered yet (<a href="https://misportal.jlab.org/ul/conferences/generic_conference/registration.cfm?conference_id=HallA_winter25">https://misportal.jlab.org/ul/conferences/generic_conference/registration.cfm?conference_id=HallA_winter25</a>).
Hope to see you in person. Along with many experimental talks, there will be two special theory talks and the abstracts are posted below:</div>

<div>Title: “Angular Momentum in Quantum Gauge Theory”</div>
<div>Abstract:</div>
<div>The concept of “spin” was invented in the first part of the 20th century when it was realized that if the angular momentum of the electron was associated with a spinning ball, the surface of the ball would be travelling faster than the speed of light.
In quantum mechanics we separate fundamental objects into fermions and bosons. Fermions occupy space and are subject to the Pauli Exclusion Principle. Bosons permeate space and can form condensates where coherence deflects the concept of particle number. Gauge
field theories combine fermions and bosons in very specific ways and the self-duality of the gauge sector of the Standard Model relates the quantization of charge to the quantization of angular momentum.</div>

<div>Title: “Revealing the quarks and gluons in nuclei at Hall A”</div>
<div>Abstract:</div>
<div>The study of nuclei from the perspective of the quark and gluon degrees of freedom remains a rich frontier in nuclear physics. Jefferson Lab is at the luminosity frontier and is the leading facility to explore the explicit role of QCD in nuclei, where
many new discoveries and deep insights remain possible. This talk will explore some of the opportunities to study QCD in nuclei, with a focus on Hall A, and discuss the associated insights into quark and gluon dynamics in nuclei.</div>
