style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"times new
roman",serif">This workshop aims at <span>producing an
optimized photon source concept with potential increase of
scientific output at
Jefferson Lab, and at refining the</span><span> </span><span>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 K<sub>L</sub> beams.
The combination of
high precision calorimetry and high intensity photon
sources can provide
greatly enhanced scientific benefit to</span><span> </span>(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. <span>The availability of K<sub>L</sub>
beams would open new avenues for hadron spectroscopy, for
example for the investigations
of “</span>missing” hyperon resonances, with potential
impact on QCD
thermodynamics and on freeze-out both in heavy ion
collisions and the early universe.</span>
<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"times new
roman",serif">The workshop will aid in addressing PAC43
and PAC44 comments on recent proposals and letters of intent
related to photo-production
topics and K<sub>L</sub> beams. </span><span
style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"times new

right after the APS Topical Group on Hadronic Physics
meeting in Washington DC.
