[APEX] Dark Sectors 2016 Report -- Please Consider Signing!

[Natalia Toro]

Dear APEX,

Many of you were unable to attend the Dark Sectors 2016 Workshop held at
SLAC last April. For those who did,
please pardon my spam.

At the request of DOE HEP, we have written a report, first draft attached
above, which serves to summarize the Workshop. It gives the scientific
motivations behind dark sector searches, surveys ongoing and future
accelerator searches for dark photons and hidden sector dark matter,
explores direct detection of low mass dark matter,  and considers the
wealth of new theoretical ideas surrounding dark sector physics. The report
has been assembled by the working group conveners and organizers from the
workshop using the talks, discussions, and closeout session results. The
report seeks to be a snapshot of our field that will  serve a role like the
Snowmass reports in educating DOE HEP. It seeks to provide the information
they will need to guide and support future developments in our field.

We're seeking the support of the whole dark sector community, so hope you
will have a look at the report and agree to adding your name to our list of
supporters.

To do so, please just write back to John Jaros at john at slac.stanford.edu
(not to me!) of your intent to sign. Please be sure to give your name and
institution as you would like them in the author list.  There are time
constraints, so please do so soon, by August 14.

If there are others you think would be interested in signing this document,
can you please let me know?

Editing is still very much underway (you will see inline comments and
such), and our timetable prevents us from asking for style feedback.
However, if you see a major omission from the report, please me know, and I
will pass it on to the  conveners and organizers (cc'ed above).

Our plan is to have 1 page contributions from each of the current
experiments linked from the workshop website and referenced in the report.

We are continuing with editing during the week of August 8 (this week). A
second revision will be sent to the revised author list early in the week
of  August 15.

Please sign!


Thanks and best,

Natalia Toro
For the DS2016 Organizers and Conveners
