12 GeV UpgradeThe tenth and final C100 cryomodule has been installed in the tunnel. In-tunnel testing of C100-7 has been completed; the total voltage for that cryomodule was 108 Megavolts. In-tunnel testing of C100-6 is underway. All of the dipoles and 90 percent of the girders have been installed in the beamline to the Hall D tagger enclosure. The extraction chicane dipoles have been installed. Final alignment of the east arcs is complete and is nearly complete for the west arcs. Installation of the west recombiner and transport channel recombiner are nearly complete; the east spreader is complete except for two septa. The east recombiner is under vacuum. Assembly of the new radiofrequency separator cavities is underway. Fabrication of the Personnel Safety System beam stoppers/diffusers has begun; the associated electronics are on order. Seventy-five of the new 20A trim supplies are now on site; thirty of the units have been installed. Vendor testing of the new box supply for arc 1 is nearly complete; testing of the new supply for the beamline to Hall A has begun. Procurement of the electronics for the new stripline beam position monitors continues. Center for Theoretical and Computational PhysicsA new relativistic formulation of pion loop corrections to the coupling of photons with nucleons is presented on the light-front, explicitly satisfying gauge invariance and Ward-Takahashi identity constraints to all orders in the pion mass expansion. The results are used to compute corrections to moments of parton distributions measured in deep-inelastic scattering experiments or in lattice QCD. Comparisons of results for pseudovector and pseudoscalar coupling of pions to nucleons allows the resolution of a long-standing puzzle in the computation of pion cloud corrections to structure function moments.

Environment, Safety, Health and QualityRoadway Breakdown Safety People often choose to exit a broken-down car, whether it's to stay cool, retrieve a spare tire or to get better cell phone reception to call for assistance. However, there are safe and unsafe ways to wait on the roadside. When exiting the vehicle, always do so on the side opposite the lanes of travel. Once out of the vehicle, stand slightly to the rear of the vehicle and off to the side of the road, preferably on the non-road side of a guard rail (if present). This location is the safest in the event the disabled car is sideswiped or struck from behind by oncoming traffic. To assist drivers in avoiding breakdowns, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration offers valuable tips for preparing for your next roadtrip. If your car does break down, these tips from The Weather Channel may also be useful. Computing and Networking Infrastructure Site-Wide Network Outage Set for Saturday, July 20 Announcements Revised General Access Radiological Worker Permit The GARWP is titled SAF801kd, and the change is located in the middle of page 3, item #9. A revision date of June 25, 2013, should be shown in the upper left hand corner of this document.
