</font> The High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIGS) at
the Triangle <font face="Open Sans, Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif">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. </font><br>
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: <br>
Hadronic Parity Violation in nuclei<br>
Nuclear Structure and nuclear astrophysics<br>
