             International Workshop on Physics with Positrons at 
Jefferson Lab

                     12-15 September 2017, Newport News, Virginia


                                  *** Second Circular ***


Registration for the Workshop on Physics with Positrons at Jefferson Lab 
is now
open at the conference website :

                       https://www.jlab.org/conferences/JPos2017/

This workshop is organized to explore the complementary physics 
potential offered
by a polarized positron beam at JLab.  We seek presentations and 
discussions of
the application of positron beams in the context of CEBAF 12 GeV, a possible
Positron-Ion collider (complementary to an Electron-Ion Collider), and 
an eventual
low-energy positron facility.

The physics potential will be evaluated on the basis of beam intensity and
polarization. At CEBAF 12 GeV, beam intensities about 10-100 nA CW and 
 >60% polarization
are expected, at EIC energies a luminosity of 10^33 cm-2/s and >40% 
polarization are
considered and at low energies positron beams with a flux about 10^10 
e+/s with >50%
polarization are likely. Workshop proceedings are intended to inform a 
White Paper
for a positron physics program at JLab.

The workshop is organized in plenary and parallel sessions according to 
the topics:

- Interference physics (J. Arrington & C. Hyde, conveners)
- Charged current physics (Y. Furletova & W. Melnitchouk, conveners)
- Test of the Standard Model (M. Battaglieri & X. Zheng, conveners)
- Positron applications (T. Forest & F. Selim & B. Vlahovic, conveners)
- Positron source and beam physics (J. Grames & V. Morozov, conveners)

The program will be composed of both invited and contributed talks, and 
will comprise
also a poster session. Student support is available to encourage their 
participation
in the workshop.
