Circular:
This workshop aims at producing an optimized photon source concept with potential 
increase of scientific output at Jefferson Lab, and at refining the science for 
hadron physics experiments benefitting from such a high-intensity photon source. 
The workshop is dedicated to bringing together the communities directly using such 
sources for photo-production experiments, or for conversion into KL beams. The 
combination of high precision calorimetry and high intensity photon sources can 
provide greatly enhanced scientific benefit to (deep) exclusive processes like 
wide-angle (WACS) and time like (TCS) Compton scattering. Potential prospects of 
such a high-intensity source with modern polarized targets will also be discussed. 
The availability of KL beams would open new avenues for hadron spectroscopy, for 
example for the investigations of “missing” hyperon resonances, with potential impact 
on QCD thermodynamics and on freeze-out both in heavy ion collisions and the early 
universe. The workshop will aid in addressing PAC43 and PAC44 comments on recent 
proposals and letters of intent related to photo-production topics and KL beams. 
This two-day workshop will take place right after the APS Topical Group on Hadronic 
Physics meeting in Washington DC.
