12 GeV UpgradeThe tooling to install the steel shields on the photomultiplier tubes of the CLAS12 Central Time of Flight detector has been delivered. These are the first items to appear from a final order of tooling and installation fixtures for the CTOF; the balance of the order includes the installation arm and transport strong-back needed to install the detector slats into the Solenoid magnet bore. The remaining fast electronic modules, the crate trigger processors, needed to complete the data acquisition and triggering systems for Hall B, have now all been checked out and are installed in Hall B. Finally, the bids have arrived and are being evaluated for the tungsten-based Moeller-electron shield, which is needed to shield the downstream detectors in CLAS12 from that source of background hits. All six Region 1 Drift Chamber sectors have been installed into the Torus magnet support frames, and the first of six Region 2 sectors of the Drift Chamber are also installed.

Publications Refresher Course Set for Sept. 23 Center for Theoretical and Computational PhysicsThe Jefferson Lab Angular Momentum Collaboration has performed the first iterative Monte Carlo analysis of fragmentation functions constrained by all available data from single-inclusive e+e- annihilation into pions and kaons. The IMC method eliminates potential bias in traditional analyses based on single fits introduced by fixing parameters not well constrained by the data, and provides a statistically rigorous determination of uncertainties. The analysis reveals specific features of fragmentation functions using the new IMC methodology and those obtained from previous analyses, especially for light quarks and for strange quark fragmentation to kaons.
