27th Annual Hampton University Graduate Studies Program

HUGS 2012
Jefferson Lab, Newport News, Virginia
June 4 - June 22, 2012

With support from the United States Department of Energy (DOE), the 27th Annual Hampton University Graduate Studies (HUGS) summer school is scheduled to run from June 4 through June 22, 2012 at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) in Newport News, VA. Students will arrive on Sunday, June 3 and depart on Saturday, June 23.

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 2012 school will focus primarily on experimental and theoretical topics of high current interest in strong interaction physics.
 
Speakers and Topics:

• Transverse Momentum of Partons
  Maria-Elena Boglione (University of Turin & INFN Turin)

• Insights into the Spectrum of Hadrons from Lattice QCD
  Jozef Dudek (ODU & JLab)

• Dualities and QCD
  Josh Erlich (College of William & Mary)

• Meson Electroproduction and Imaging Studies
  Tanja Horn (Catholic University of America)

• Flavor Structure and Electroweak Interactions
  Paul Reimer (Argonne National Laboratory)
  
  
• Nucleons In The Nucleus
  Larry Weinstein (ODU)

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 2012 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 2, 2012.

Applications will still be accepted after this date but fellowships will only be awarded to students submitting applications by the April 2th deadline. All students will be notified by April 30, 2012 of acceptance.
