To the Organizers of DIS 2022,
Hello, my name is Matt Sievert; I'm reaching out to you today regarding our
abstract which was accepted for a talk in the session WG4: QCD with Heavy Flavours and
Hadronic Final States, entitled, "Are Jets Narrowed or Broadened in e+A SIDIS?"
Our intended speaker for this talk was the student researcher, Hannah Clayton.
Hannah is currently in the UK, so in-person participation at DIS 2022 would have been
quite feasible for her. However, due to school constraints, Hannah will be unable to
deliver the talk herself.
I, on the other hand, would be willing to deliver the talk as planned, but in-person
participation for me at Santiago de Compostela is unfortunately impossible at this time.
The week of DIS is also Finals Week here at NMSU, so the timing of the travel would be
prohibitive, even aside from the transatlantic expense.
For these reasons, I am writing to ask for your recommendation as the organizers,
whether it would be preferable to make arrangements to allow for the remote presentation
of our talk, or if we should instead withdraw our abstract since we will be unable to
participate in person.
Best regards,
- Matt Sievert
