Medical Health Insurance

Please be aware that many university and state medical insurance plans do not provide coverage if you are away from the institution or out-of-state. Check your current medical insurance plan to confirm medical coverage is provided during your stay at JLab.

If your plan does not provide coverage, please email your name to jris@jlab.org and someone will be in touch with information about medical coverage during your stay at the Laboratory.

2013 User-Space Clean up

As you are aware Jefferson Lab has a very diverse collection of users who share office, storage and technical space at our facility. Over the past several years, as organizations have come and gone, we have accrued a significant amount of unclaimed property. This property (consisting of old computing equipment, file cabinets, books and documents, among other things) is distributed throughout the Lab and has grown in size to the point that it is impacting the availability of user space.

As a result, we're asking for your help to reduce the load again before the start of 12GeV.

During the next 90 days, we'll be working our way through user offices, cubicles and storage areas identifying abandoned property. Materials that appear to be abandoned will be marked with a red tag. Following the Users Group Meeting this summer, any tagged material that has not been claimed will be scheduled for disposal.

Users who have materials at the Lab and will not be here to claim them before the Users Group Meeting, should contact Lorelei Chopard of the User Liaison Office. She can be reached at 757-269-6388 or by e-mail at: lorelei@jlab.org. If you have office items you would like to temporarily store please contact Lorelei.

Upon notification, the property will be considered claimed and marked accordingly.We appreciate your patience in this process, and we hope that when we're finished we'll all share a more accessible work environment.

From the Users Group Board of Directors chair, Sebastian Kuhn:

Nota Bene: We urge all Jefferson Lab users and students and other interested parties to sign up to the Users' mailing list "CUGA" if you haven't done so already. You could miss out on important information otherwise! Contact Lorelei to have your email address added to the list; we promise not to inundate you with spam.

As always, more information can be found on the Users Group wiki at: https://wiki.jlab.org/cugwiki/index.php/Main_Page

2013 Annual Users Group Meeting

Save the Date for the 2013 Users Group Annual Meeting

The 2013 JLab User's Group Annual Meeting will take place on May 29-31, 2013 at Jefferson Lab - MARK YOUR CALENDARS. In addition to many talks from our community, there will be several invited presentations, including by F. Halzen, E. Aschenauer, T. Hallman, and M. Grosse-Perdekamp (TBC).

Topics will include Physics at Jefferson Lab in all "6 Halls" (incl. FEL and accelerator), special presentations by prize winners and recent APS fellows, invited talks on neutrinos, RHIC spin physics and hadronic physics in Europe and Japan, reports from Lab management and from the funding agencies.

As always, there will be a Users Business Meeting, the annual graduate student Poster Competition, special lunch discussions for the graduate students and a reception. We are also planning a little party in the ARC user space.

Your participation is important, and we strongly urge everyone to attend. Registration will open soon.
