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...
