The GlueX and PANDA experiments are and will be world leading hadronic-physics facilities, which are complementary in studying the dynamics of the strong interaction. The PANDA experiment features a modern multipurpose detector in combination with a high-quality antiproton beam at the HESR to address important questions in all aspects of this field by collecting large statistics and high-quality exclusive data to test QCD in the non-perturbative regime. The linearly polarized photon beam and GlueX's large acceptance...
Title: Fast Orbit Feedback (FOFB) System Design and R&D for the APS Upgrade (APS-U)
Speaker: Nicholas Sereno
Abstract: Orbit feedback system design and beam diagnostics required for the APS upgrade (APS-U) are driven by challenging beam stability requirements. The AC stability specification states that rms beam motion must be corrected to 10 \% the rms beam size at the insertion device source points from 0.01 to 1000 Hz. The vertical plane has the tightest rms AC stability requirement of 400 nm. Long term drift over a period of 7 days is required to be 1...
The Physics Fest includes a brief interactive summary of the science and technology at Jefferson Lab followed by experiments involving static electricity, liquid nitrogen and plasmas. At least one day a month during the school year is set aside for groups of students to attend a presentation at Jefferson Lab for Physics Fest.

Title: Gravitational Form Factors on the Lattice
Abstract: The gravitational form factors (GFFs) of hadrons are the subject of ongoing and quickly developing theoretical and experimental investigation. These quantities, defined from hadronic matrix elements of the energy-momentum tensor, encode fundamental aspects of a hadron's structure,...

Title: The precision Frontier for Gluon Saturation
Abstract: A major pillar of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) scientific program is the discovery and characterization of a new regime of nuclear matter, known as color glass condensate (CGC), dominated by a highly dense and saturated system of gluons. Predictions from the CGC...
Title: To the Issue of Geodesics and Torsion in the Theory of the Gravitation
Speaker: Yaroslav Derbenev
Abstract: A simple differential analysis of the issue of correspondence between notion of the geodesics in gravitation theory of GTR and straights of inertial motion in the Minkowski’ space-time discovers that, conventional certification of the geodesics in GTR is not compatible with the existence of the Riemann-Christoffel curvature tensor (RCT). We show that, a resolution of this crisis consists of a natural extension of the Christoffels in the dynamic...
Science Bowl is a competition is open to middle school teams from across Virginia. The middle school competition will take place on Saturday, March 2, 2024.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly developing field focused on computational technologies that can be trained, with data, to augment or automate human skill. A subset of AI is machine learning (ML), which is usually grouped into supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning. Nuclear Physics is big data: the gigantic data volumes produced in modern experiments now and over the next decade are reaching scales and complexities that require computational methods for tasks such as big data analytics, design of new detectors, controls, and calibration systems. AI has the potential...
