*New opportunities with high intensity photon sources at JLab Workshop*

February 6-7, 2017

Catholic University of America

Washington, DC



*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.
