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...

Norfolk, Virginia is called the city on the water, which can easily be reached via plane, car, bus, or train. If traveling by car, plan for the many bridges and tunnels that you may encounter, as well as potential tolls. Summarized PDF details can be found here.
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic emergency,
the HUGS 2020 school has been CANCELED.
We will do our best to organize HUGS 2021 in the late Spring or Summer of next year, extending the number of students we can accept into the program. Keep an eye open for the HUGS 2021 announcement! ...
