On December 10 and 11, 2002, the second annual Hall A analysis workshop was held at Jefferson Lab. The focus of this year's analysis workshop was on how various aspects of Jefferson Lab work, including the accelerator, target, and spectrometers. Electronic versions of the talks can be found at: http://hallaweb.jlab.org/data_reduc/AnaWork2002/

Collaborators from each of the experimental halls meet twice each year. Hall A staff, students and users usually meet in December and June.

During the December meeting, the following individuals were officially added to the Hall A collaboration:

Ph.D. students:

Areg Danagoulian (University of Illinois) RCS
Lisa Kaufman (University of Massachusetts) HAPPEX-II
Bin Ma (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) 4He(e,e'p)
Vahe Mamyan (Old Dominion University) RCS
Carlos Munoz-Camacho (CEA Saclay) DVCS

Post-Docs:

Dr. Robert Feuerback (Hall A) Hall A Experiments
Dr. Dan Protopopescu (Glasgow University) Hall A Experiments
Dr. Andrei Semenov (Kent State University) GEN

Staff Physicists:

Dr. Alexander Borissov (GlasGow University) RCS-II
Prof. Benjamin Crowe (North Carolina Central Univ.) GEN
Dr. Ru Igarashi (University of Saskatchewan) BigBite
Prof. Norm Kolb (University of Saskatchewan) BigBite
Prof. J.-C. Peng (University of Illinois) Hall A Experiments

Hall A Leader Kees de Jager reported that [to date] there are now 13 PRL/PLB Hall A publications along with six other refereed journals and seven NIM (Nuclear Instruments and Methods) papers. The Hall A NIM paper is now in its final draft; and five experiments have archival papers in preparation. The up-to-date publication list can be found at:

In 2002, Hall A collaborators finished five experiments (E99-114, E98-108, E01-001, E01-020, and E00-007). The analysis has been completed on four experiments (E94-010, E93-049, E93-050 and E99-117) and at least two others are nearing completion.

The following is a list of experimenters who made presentations at the meeting (listed by experiment):

E89-044: 3He(e,e'p)	Fatiha Benmokhtar
E91-011: N->Delta	Rikki Roche
E97-103: g2	Kevin Kramer
E97-111: 4He(e,e'p)t	Bodo Reitz
E98-108: Kaon	John LeRose
E99-114: RCS	David Hamilton
E99-117: A1n	Jian-Ping Chen
E00-007: D(g,p)	Ron Gilman
E01-001: SuperRosenbluth	Ralph Segal
E00-102: 16O(e,e'p)	Wendy Hinton
E01-020: D(e,e'p)	Hassan Ibrahim

Also presented were status reports of upcoming experiments:

E01-012: Spin Duality	Nilanga Liyanage
E97-110: Small Angle GDH	Alexandre Deur
E99-115 & E00-114: Parity	Kent Paschke

There are now many experiments planned for Hall A, which require the construction of new equipment for the Hall. Delays in the arrival of the two septum magnets were discussed. (The first magnet arrived after the Hall A meeting. By the end of February 2003 it was in place.) The other projects seem to be progressing on schedule. The following presentations were made on upcoming projects:

Septum Update	John LeRose
Ring Imaging Cherenkov	Francesco Cusanno
Moller Polarimetry	Eugene Chudakov
DVCS	Franck Sabatie
BigBite	Peter Monaghan
Neutron Detectors	John Watson

The Hall A version of the pCDR for the 12GeV upgrade was summarized by Zein-Eddine Meziani and the report can be found at:

An finally, five of the seven PAC23 proposals were presented during the collaboration meeting. Copies of all seven proposals can be found at:

http://hallaweb.jlab.org/collab/PAC23/

PAC23 approved E03-003:RCS, E03-004:Transversity, and E03-011:Parity.
