French Ambassador Tours JLab |
 Hall A Leader Kees de Jager (left) describes to Ambassador Pierre Vimont, the French Ambassador to the U.S., how JLab’s electron beam is guided from the accelerator into Hall A. Behind the ambassador is his consul general, Michel Schaffhauser; Nicole Yancey, honorary consul of France and Rolf Ent, 12 GeV Upgrade project.
Among the many ties that Jefferson Lab has with the international science community, some of the strongest exist with the French. In recognition of this fact, French Ambassador Pierre Vimont took a whirlwind tour of Jefferson Lab on Feb. 28. Joining Vimont on the tour were his consul general, Michel Schaffhauser, and Nicole Yancey, the honorary consul of France. Their visit to JLab was neatly tucked between the ambassador’s speaking engagements at Old Dominion University and an evening dinner at Christopher Newport University. The events were co-sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Greater Hampton Roads and the respective universities. Vimont and his associates visited Jefferson Lab to gain a better understanding of the Lab's research program and to learn about the close ties between Jefferson Lab and its French collaborators..... more |
