[Cuga] Third announcement of the HIGS2 Workshop- A message from Calvin Howell

[Lorelei Chopard]

> Dear members of the nuclear-physics community:
>
> This announcement is a reminder of the HIGS2 workshop that will be 
> held on June 3 - 4, 2013 at Duke University.  Some details are below.
>
> THE HIGH INTENSITY GAMMA-RAY SOURCE 2
> WORKSHOP
> 3-4 June 2013, Durham, North Carolina, USA
> http://higs2.phy.duke.edu <http://higs2.phy.duke.edu/>
>
> Free registration deadline: May 20, 2013
> Abstract deadline: May 15, 2013 (the template for abstracts is attached)

>      The High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIGS) at the Triangle 
> Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) produces highly polarized 
> gamma-ray beams by Compton backscattering of photons 
> from relativistic electrons inside the optical cavity of a 
> storage-ring free-electron laser.  HIGS is currently the most intense 
> (photons/s/keV) accelerator-driven gamma-ray source in the world.   
>  An international user community carry out a broad research program in 
> basic and applied nuclear physics at HIGS.
>      The proposed next generation Compton gamma-ray source at TUNL, 
> which is referred to as the HIGS2, will deliver more than two orders 
> of magnitude higher beam intensity to targets than is currently 
> available at HIGS, will provide enhanced beam polarization control, 
> and be capable of producing beams with energy resolutions as low as 
> about 0.1%, which is a factor of ten smaller than currently achievable 
> at HIGS.  This workshop will bring together physicists who are 
> interested in conducting research with high-intensity gamma-ray beams 
> to discuss the research made possible by HIGS2.  The topics include:
> Hadronic Parity Violation in nuclei
> Nuclear Structure and nuclear astrophysics
> Search for Dark Particles
> More information can be found at the workshop website:
