Charles Hyde

Charles Hyde: Chair, Department of Physics Eminent Scholar and University Professor of Physics

Dr. Charles Hyde served as co-spokesperson of seven past (E93-050, E99-114, E00-110, E03-106), present (E07-007, E08-025), and future 12 GeV (E12-06-114) experiments at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News VA. His Research is in nuclear physics, focussed on the topic of Compton Scattering from the proton. In this process he uses one high energy photon to hit a proton, and with a second photon we take a picture of the wiggling internal structure of the proton. An introduction to this subject for a general audience can be found on his Web Poster on Virtual Compton Scattering. Presently, he is focussing on creating 3-D images of the quarks and gluons inside the proton and the atomic nucleus by the "Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering" reaction. A technical summary can be found at http://hallaweb.jlab.org/experiment/DVCS/ He is also active in developing the design and physics motivation for a future Electron-Ion Collider. His research is currently funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, the National Science Foundation and Brookhaven National Laboratory Previous funding includes the French CNRS/IN2P3 and ANR.

Gagik Gavalian

Gagik Gavalian: Staff Scientist at Jefferson Lab and Assistant Professor at Old Dominion University.

Dr. Gagik Gavalian attended Yerevan State University and graduated in 1996 with a major in Physics. He obtained his Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics from the University of New Hampshire in May 2004. Gagik then served as a Post Doctoral Research Associate at Old Dominion University until 2008. He then assumed the role of Assistant Professor at Old Dominion until 2014, where he taught introductory physics and conducted research at Jefferson Lab. Gagik played an instrumental role in the Hall B data mining efforts leading to multiple publications on studies of nuclear effects in electron-nucleus scattering. Gagik joined Jefferson Lab as a staff scientist in 2014 and has been working on preparing the CLAS12 data analysis packages towards expedient analysis. He also mentors Doctoral candidates and college students. For past four years Gagik worked on implementing CLAS12 detector reconstruction packages in cloud distributed CLARA framework. CLAS12 detector was successfully commissioned in February 2017 with reconstruction software successfully tested for full data production. For the past (2017-2018) year Gagik was leading effort in development of physics analysis software for CLAS12 experimental data.
