A subcommittee of the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (NSAC) of the Department of Energy visited Jefferson Lab, Aug. 3-5, to review the science programs pertaining to medium-energy physics.

Chaired by Dr. James Symons, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBL), the review panel saw the accelerator first-hand and reviewed experimental operations. They also heard a number of presentations including briefings from Jefferson Lab users regarding the experimental program. The committee interacted with Lab staff, users, and graduate and post doctoral students during their visit.

The purpose of the review was to help set the scientific priorities within the medium energy sub-field of nuclear physics. Jefferson Lab was the last of three stops made by the committee. While the panel did not have a formal close-out session or issue a final report, the Lab expects to hear the committee's findings by mid-September.
