A Cookie for Your Thoughts at Quark Cafe on Jan. 21 and 22
The Quark Cafe staff will conduct its annual survey, Jan. 21 and 22, to assess the JLab community's feelings about a range of cafeteria services. Fill out a survey, express your opinion and receive a free cookie.
The survey form will be available in the cafeteria during lunch time on Wednesday, Jan. 21 and during breakfast and lunch on Thursday, Jan. 22.

You will recall that in the fall of 2015, I wrote a Montage about the intent to develop an Integrated Diversity and Inclusion program. The Diversity and Inclusion Council, under Chairpersons Mary Logue and Rolf Ent, has been working in collaboration with the Public Affairs office on several initiatives, which will soon go public. One of the very interesting but pernicious effects which, to a greater or lesser degree, we all are susceptible to is implicit bias. We are also looking to provide training for supervisors and also to enhance the information provided to people involved in the hiring process, which would include cultural context, gender communications, as well as implicit bias.

Engineering Division Safety Officer Named: Message From Will Oren
All,
Since Henry Robertson took on leadership of the Safety Systems Group we have had Harry Fanning, Accelerator Division Safety Officer, filling in as the Engineering DSO. Harry has done an outstanding job in this role and I would like to thank him for his services over the past year.

Our upgrade project is called the 12 GeV CEBAF Upgrade Project.
At the time CD-4A was achieved, we demonstrated 2.2 GeV per pass. This was 12 GeV! Well, not quite. In fact with more than one pass, we limited ourselves to a little more than 6 GeV with three passes, and to 10.5 GeV with 5.5 passes. It was not felt to be prudent to demand 12 GeV out of the machine immediately after turn on.

France and the French have been involved in this local area for a number of years. In 1781, the French Army, led by Compte de Rochambeau, helped the Continental Army of George Washington defeat the British in the Siege of/Battle of Yorktown. While my sentiments with respect to that event are mixed, I have no such equivocation with respect to Thursday’s event.

Most of the Montage articles I have posted have addressed a single subject. This is different; I have a number of subjects I will try to cover which characterize the current menu of activities at the Lab.
We ran CEBAF during May to provide data for the proton radius (PRAD) experiment, and indeed completed the experiment. During the summer period, we limit operations to benefit from the electricity charge structures provided by Dominion Power. It has become traditional to concentrate on remedial and maintenance work. A good example is the next step in the gradient maintenance program. The refurbishment of one of the cryomodules by the teams in the SRF Institute has been completed and the module tested. Today, this module has been installed in the CEBAF tunnel, and there is every expectation that it will contribute significantly to the gradient capability of the machine.

Jefferson Lab Employee Tour Set for Thursday, Aug. 11
Have you ever wanted to see the experimental halls and the accelerator tunnel, but have not had the opportunity to do so? Jefferson Lab employees, users, students and contractors will have that opportunity on Thursday, Aug. 11, 1-3:30 p.m.
The tour will include stops at the Test Lab, the Machine Control Center, an accelerator, and Experimental Halls C and D. The visit to each facility will be guided by subject-matter experts. Photos may be taken.
