This is the final circular for the Backward-Angle (u-channel) Physics Workshop,<br>
to be held virtually, on September 21-23, with the support of Jefferson Lab and<br>
JSA. Registration is still open, see below for details.<br>
<br>
The objectives of the workshop:<br>
* Offer a platform to connect scattered experiment and theory efforts together,<br>
thus, potentially forming small backward-angle physics working groups.<br>
* Generate discussions on the implications the backward-angle physics and<br>
probe the physics case for a systematic backward-angle physics research<br>
program.<br>
* Inspire future backward-angle physics data mining or dedicated studies,<br>
including the JLab 12 GeV program, and PANDA/FAIR.<br>
* Discuss the feasibility of including backward-angle physics in the EIC<br>
scientific program.<br>
<br>

Find detailed information and the program at the Workshop Indico site:<br>
<a href="https://www.jlab.org/indico/event/375/">https://www.jlab.org/indico/event/375/</a><br>
<br>
Monday and Tuesday are devoted to electroproduction backward angle reactions at<br>
JLab, EIC and PANDA, ending with a moderated group discussion on Tuesday<br>
afternoon. Wednesday is devoted to photoproduction backward angle reactions,<br>
also ending with a moderated group discussion. Our goal is for the workshop<br>
and these discussions to lead to a white paper on u-channel physics.<br>
