HUGS 2008
Jefferson Lab, Newport News, Virginia

Applications are now being accepted for HUGS 2008 to be held at Jefferson Lab in Newport News, Virginia.

With support from the United States Department of Energy (DOE), the 23nd annual Hampton University Graduate Studies (HUGS) summer school is scheduled to run from Monday, June 2 thru Friday, June 20, 2008 at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) in Newport News, VA. Students will arrive on Sunday, June 1, and depart on Saturday, June 21. View the schedule and talks.

HUGS is a summer school designed for second and third year experimental or theoretical Nuclear/Particle physics graduate students who have finished (or nearly finished) their coursework. Students who are well into a research project are encouraged to apply as well. Acceptance into the program is competitive. Students will receive one transferable credit hour from Hampton University. The 2008 school will focus primarily on experimental and theoretical topics of high current interest in strong interaction physics.

Speakers and Topics:

• Mary Alberg, Seattle University, Seattle, WA, Parton Models of Hadrons
• Wolfgang Bentz, Tokai University, Japan, The NJL Model for Quarks in Hadrons and Nuclei
• David Dean, Oak Ridge National Lab, TN, Nuclear Theory and FRIB
• Latifa Elouadhriri, Jefferson Lab, Deep Exclusive Processes
• Doug Higinbotham, Jefferson Lab, Short-Range Structure of Nuclei
• Zheng-Tian Lu, Argonne National Lab, Argonne, IL, Nuclear Science with Laser Trapping
• Mike Peardon, Trinity College, Ireland, QCD on the Lattice

While attending the HUGS at Jefferson Lab summer school, students will attend all lectures and seminars offered. The program is simultaneously intensive, friendly, and casual. All lecturers are internationally renown and leaders in their fields. The students will be housed on site at Jefferson Lab. There will be many opportunities to interact with Jefferson Lab staff, as well as the lecturers, other graduate students and visitors. Students receive excellent insight into the type of physics to be performed at Jefferson Lab in the upcoming years.

Funding limitations require us to restrict the number of fellowships that will be awarded.

Each fellowship will cover tuition, fees, room and board, in addition to reimbursement of most, if not all, of the student's domestic, second-class round-trip airfare or mileage, whichever is less. Students will need to supply funds for incidentals, extra meals, etc.

To apply to HUGS 2008 at Jefferson Lab summer school, submit to the address below completed application, letter of request for consideration of acceptance into the program, and two letters of recommendation. Submission as such will automatically place the student in the fellowship competition. The deadline for application submittal is April 1, 2008.

Applications will still be accepted after this date but fellowships will only be awarded to students submitting applications by the April 1st deadline. All students will be notified by April 1, 2008 of acceptance.
